ok, we just got my brothers motor all put together, and it is hard as hell to turn over. I mean hard, we even broke a ratchet. When we installed the crank, it spun freely. Once the rod bearings and rods were installed it started doing this. We didnt know if it was just cause everything is tight or if they sent us the wrong rod bearings.
standard bore new pistons and rings new rod, main bearings the crank spun freely with just the mains on so Im pretty sure its the rod bearing size but just wanted to see what you guys think or if this has happened to anyone else. -------------------- "One of the most Crazy and Undecisive Members in central Illinois"

Is the head on yet? If so I would double check piston to valve clearance. If not then just try undoing the rod caps one at a time to see which one is the problem or if it is all of them.
