Hey all, just putting the short block back together and after replacing the=
 rings and honing the walls (didn't change the bearings. Only 70000 miles o=
n engine) I'm having a hard time with what I feel is too much friction when=
 I tighten rod caps or bearing caps. I use a wrench w about 1 foot length. =
I cant even turn it and it's not even torqued yet. I used redline assembly =
lube on everything that moves or slides. Before I tighten caps, the pistons=
 move fine, after I tighten, no move. is this normal? I know the engine isn=
't meant to turn over by hand but wait till the heads on and there in compr=
ession! I won't go further till Im sure the things done right. Any BTDT? Gi=
ve me a pointer. Thanks Brandon Adams
