Problems with New RB - S5 engine
Hi,

If it is BRAND NEW. RBs are VERY VERY Tight when brand new. You will need to heat the engine up to get it loosen up enough to get it past top dead center.

yeah definately heat it up and loosen the plug a bit to start it then nip it up when its running. They are complete pains to run in but the rewards are definately there if you have patience.
