Default Tooooo tight !

Well I finished checking all the rings and gaps, everything looks good

The crank end play is about .008 and good

I re-lubed all the bearings and retorqued everything so I'll be putting the heads back on and setting up the valve lash and the timing.

The engine appears to turn at about the same by hand

I was told you can set up a half horse electric motor to do the break-in, running it off the crank with a pulley.

Is this a good idea?
