I'd say rear cylinder leaking. Will lock up real good with all that brake fluid, I know it sounds like it should be the other way round, but nup.

Bad news yesterday guys, took car to trans bloke cause i felt 4200 stall was a little to big for my combo so we took it out and had it taken to TCE and fitted to 3500 stall now which was great then when it went back into the car and on start up ( on hoist ) notice the crank shifting on start up , we got a steel bar and we could pry it 3 mm forwards and backwards :( looks like the engine needs to come out , what are people thoughts ??

Yeah I think it would be thrust bearings but need to know why this has happened so I don't build another engine and it does it again

What is a scat bottom end,
In the pictures you can see the harmonic balancer has moved forward, assuming when it moves the flywheel does as well, otherwise it would just a loose harmonic balancer.
