JOHNNYCOBRA John over the last couple of years some things have changed. The rod torque installation has gone from a tork wrench to a rod bolt stretch bolt measurement of .004-.006" with ARP bolts. This is done a couple of times. Once on the bench, then in the motor. Unless you are running a real loose motor, it is going to be hard to turn. A tork number would help. You will find it, go back the the beginning of the assembly and redo each step and recheck the rotation for how hard it becomes. Hope you used per assembly lube on all bearings. Rick L. Ps I put a motor together with the rods on the wrong sides because the motor was up side down
It still spun be was real tight.
