man yesterday guys i tried to start my sp2 and the darn ofna starter that i have could not turn my v-spec , its fully charged i heated it up with a blow dryer to about 175 and the starter charged for a full two days. The compression on the tdc is to much i have to use pliers to pull the wheel so piston isnt sitting in tdc. I dont understand what is the problem i even took the hole thing out oiled it up and try hand turning it . it turns but hard as hell i cant get it to start . I called my locaL HOBBY shop and they dont even know why its not turning . Ive done everything possible to try to get this thing to atleast start but there is to much compression . what should i do guys? I am at work right now and im going to my shop to drop off my buggy after work . could it be a faulty engine or is it really supposed to be this hard to start for the first time. ? if i cant get this thing broken in by friday i wont be able to participate in the race this weekend
