    you rotated the cam a few revolutions and its still hitting something? Did you pull the cam sensor? Sometimes they hang on it. If you rotated the cam, lifted the sensor and its still hanging on something you'll have to get some dowel rods to hold the lifters up, one of them isn't being held tight enough in the lifter carriers.

    all this was with dowel rods in it? pull the rods, rotate the cam and then try to pull it. You're pulling the engine anyway, worry about it once its out.
