    Rotating crankshaft

    Hello,

    I'm doing the head on an 01 td5.

    I have the rocker off and am trying to line the timing up.

    Seems extremely hard to rotate. I'm rotating clockwise, when I rotate I hear air release, it gets really resistant and bounces back.

    Fearing I may break something.

    Injectors are plugged in?
    Belt is off?

    Thank you

    You are just hearing the compressed air in the cylinder. Just carry on with what you are doing, but put a bit more effort in.

    With a 95 kg frame , and a pb bench press of 140 I found it strange that I was having this trouble of "guts"

    Ummm, not to others: make sure it's out of gear.

    Yep out of gear first, and hopefully not in a forward gear that it was in .. don't want to go running yourself over at the same time!
