Isn't there a valve ????????? If yes - Think again ! Your engine won't start when cranking too slowly. have you ever tried to jump start it with the help of another car ? Why does it crank so hard ? Does ist still make that strange noise ? Found out why ? 100 PSI seems a little bit low to me, like an old worn engine. Simply calculated without any losses it should have about 120-130PSI (8.8 Bar ?!?). Didn't you say you poored oil in there ? It should be tight like a virgin and have more pressure ! How fast /slow is your starter cranking ? Can you record a few seconds and put it online ? This would be great for all to get a feeling what the actual situation is.
