Apparently you cant turn the engine over by hand without the oil pump drive gear working its way out. Now its not going in no matter how much I fiddle with it. The oil pump drive itself wont turn either. Engine is completely together. Was going to fire it up tonight too. This is on the 380. :evil:

A few light taps with a BFH on the end of the shaft popped it right back in, PHEW!
