Found it! After following all the suggestions, I discovered a tiny screw head in the #1 cylinder. I remember after I closed everything the first time, I had to sawzall this tiny screw. It must have made the almost impossible journey into the spark plug hole when I thought it had dropped to the ground and thought nothing of it. DOH!! It now rotates fully.
Now... Lots of things I need to understand before I button everything up. Should I be worried about possible issues that little screw created? I didn’t notice anything on the camera, but then again, I’m not exactly sure what I’d be looking for. Next, the timing chain is off, the rocker nuts are off, I tired to be very careful on keeping the chain on the current / correct position on the upper sprocket as I removed it. Can I just reinstall matching the dots with the position they were in before I moved it? I took a pic as it was just before TDC. The only isssue I see is that it could be 180 off because I don’t know which revolution the crank would be on, if that makes sense. What is the correct way to do this with everything off?
What are somethings I need to be careful of when putting all of this back (besides a screw in the spark plug hole lol). Some things I noticed as I began this journey...
There was a very slow drip, that I didn’t catch, of radiator fluid in the pan. Couldn’t be much. Will this be an issue?
After the intake was removed, there was a small pool of fluid (red in color) in one of the sealed cavities of the heads. Perhaps a mixture of oil and radiator fluid. Everything else was bone dry, but this was a good size pool. Concerns?
I now have to tighten the rocker bolts, is there a correct torque?
I’m sure I’ll have something else, but I just want to make sure this goes back correctly! Thanks for all the help!!
