Newly assembled engine still on the stand. I've been assembling this for a while. New crank, cam, timing gears and chain, new oil pump, etc. The valvetrain is not assembled yet but the head is on.
Problem: very hard to rotate the assembly at the crank. Roughly 45 ft lbs with a torque wrench to start the initial rotation. The engine has been oiled down and sprayed with wd-40 another time. Should I be concerned with the tightness of the new engine?
Does anyone else have an engine to test a rotation with a torque wrench?
I haven't been on here for a long time because I haven't been able to drive this car and have problems with it
Thank you for your assistance!
