I’m rebuilding a 67 283. The engine is on a stand. This weekend I put the crank and new mains in. I used engine assembly lube. I checked the crank with a micrometer and it is std. All the new bearings are also std. After tightening the main caps the crank turns a little stiff. I can turn it by holding the counterweights but it seems a little Snug. I don’t expect it to “spin” free but I’m not sure if a little snug is too snug. Any suggestions or comments would be helpful.
