Have you got the inlet and exhaust cams the right way round?Having the clearances slightly wrong won't cause the engine to jam.It must be grossly mistimed if a valve is meeting a piston and, if that's what's happened, heaving on the crankshaft hard enough for the chain to jump could well have bent the valve unless the bottom sprocket was knackered.
as FAZERIDER dont force it.....when aligning "t" mark on flywheel make sure the lobes on the cams on no1 cylinder are facing away from each other....that puts the engine at tdc on the firing stroke and not the exhaust stroke......saying that though if it were 180 out it would still turn over........go back and make sure the chain is seated properly on the bottom sprocket and then fit the cams again...its a bit of a fiddle but take your time and nice and gentle
Are you using the cam caps from you own cylinder head or the ones that came with the replacement? The cam caps are machined in situ at the factory and are not interchangable, they have to go back on to exactly the same places they were taken from. Easy to refit them in the wrong place as they are all similiar with just arrows point to the right side. They could be out of line enough to prevent the camshafts turning when the cam cap bolts are tightened.Were the caps loose when you recieved the head, if so they may have been removed and put back incorrectly?
thorn...which cams did you use in the end ?
What happened the original head?
