Tight Engine,,,Rebuild

Posted by Charles (N.C.) on August 12, 2010 at 09:07:29 [URL] [DELETE] :

I'm assembling my 52 N engine for a rebuild.My question is the tightness as I assemble the internal parts.This is a complete rebuild.I've turned the crank slightly as I assemble.I've torqued as per I&T,FO4 manual&I can turn the engine crank but somewhat "tight" & difficult.I've lubed all parts as I went.Being all is NEW how tight should this engine be?I'm using a 1&1/2 ft.turning bar.All seems smooth but,,,tight.I don't have a professional feel for this tightness.Thanks for your input.
