Yep my fault! I randomly happened across it and replied back in post #18..I hate when I do that!This thread was originally posted Jun 15, 2011 either it's already been fixed or it's already grenaded... Cause it surely wouldn't run very long like that..
My 509 rb short block, no heads, but cam installed took 36 lbs on torque wrench to turn over on the stand, did not have the heads on yet, I was just making sure all was loose and not binding anywhere. DaveI just buttoned up the bottom end of my freshly machined, 0.030 over 440, and this piston/ring kit: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/UEM-KB237KTM030/
How hard should it be to turn over? It was a little easier yesterday, but after it sat in the shop all night it takes most my weight at the end of a 2' breaker bar to move the son of a bitch.
I have really no idea what to expect, since this is my first engine build.
