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"

Engines should never be hard to turn, if you were cranking on it hard enough to break a wratchet you should have stopped to investigate the problem before going any further.
If it was me, I wouldn't trust those bearing as being good any longer. But I'm probably overly conservative when it comes to things. I would at least recheck all the bearing clearances. You did check the clearances (with at least plasticgage) the first time, didn't you? -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???
