if you swapped heads on a running motor and are trying to roll it by hand I have seen were the lifters are pumped to take up clearance up for the old heads and do not release enough for the new setup. try figuring out the ones that are hitting and pull the lifter on that one and...
attached a pic of schematic i drew up for you. hope it helps. if you use a ford syle relay make sure you get the 4 wire not the 3 (the 3 wire ones ground through the mount) if you need a neutral saftey. will hook up the same battery + and wire to starter go on the 2 big side lugs and wire...
