Not happy 😥

There is something catching in the sump – the engine turns but at a certain point it goes very tight. When I was putting the sump on it felt it was pressing against the oil pump so I am wondering whether this is then pushing the oil pump onto the crankshaft….. so annoying.

Ca n anyone let me know how to check on TDC on piston No 1. I have the flywheel attached so can see the groove (normally for the pin) I can see the pistons but at which point is TDC on No1 and not No4 – I will need to do this for refitting of the oil pump when I unbolt the sump.

Thanks
