I am rebuilding my engine(420a). I was reassembling the engine, I put in the mains/thrust bearings and started to put bed plate back on. I bolted it down and tried turning crank by hand. I get about half way and it gets tight but still can turn it if given a push.
I have no oil pump,rods/pistons installed. Its simply the crankshaft and new bearings and bed plate.
I have them oiled with 10w30. I haven't plasti gauge it yet since autozone was closed when I got off.
My question is should the crankshaft have more resistance when aprx half a turn? I was wandering if its overcoming the counter weights and that's what I feel.
