Greg, the crank should turn over easily without the rods attached. The rear
main, if it's rope, will create a little drag. Maybe the block needs to be
align bored. The crank didn't get dropped anytime did it? I'd dial indicate it
end to end and see if there is runout in it. Hope this helps. Keep us posted.
George.

Re: [Bricklin] AMC Rod Bearings
OK, I have all the pistons in and made one
full cycle with the engine from
TDC to TDC. It is still tight, but at least
I can move it. I appreciate
all the suggestions and assistance. I have
placed a few photos on my
photobucket site on the engine rebuild during
teardown and after back from
the machine shop. I will need to update with
some current assembly photos
when I get past this point.
