I hate when people ask questions like this and then never come back to tell us what they found wrong.

Default motor hard to turn
did you break a ring during assembly?? Look for deep scratches in cylinder wall. Kris

Default Hard to turn
Are you sure you have the correct bearings? Not a .010 instead of a STD for example.

Well...this is another thread by the same guy......

was getting my area ready to start throwin my small block back together before I pick it up from the machine shop and I noticed the old rod bearings have 030 stamped in them but the mains say STD. I didnt have to have the "H" rods reworked because they were fine. My question is, does that mean the crank has already been turned 030? and if so can it be turned anymore or is it junk? it was all supposed to be brand new stuff.
Thanks for all your help so far!
