72RSbug Officially Full-On Dubber

tried starting the EJ20TT again on a bare chassis.
First off, the only thing electrical that happens is the ECU relais that clicks and not the sound of the vacume valves that open en close like it should do.

I hooked up the starter and gave it a go about 5 times and all of a sudden a louder "klack" noise and now I can only turn the crank a tiny but to the left and right.

I am really confused about this situation since there was enough oil in the engine and it's not that the engine was to warm or anything.

just pulled the engine and luckely it's not seized, the little tube that guides the clutche's pressure ring is broken. The problem seems to be in the clutch part somewhere.

the part of the starter that comes out is also busted through this.

Makes you feel sick the first couple of times you think a new motor is on the cards.
