Ok,
    I reassembled the crank/bearings, and torqued them up to spec.  The back
cap/oil seal has a much higher torque spec than the others, that I didn't
use before.  Now there is no initial stiction (Yay!!), but I can still only
get it to free spin one revolution (by hand) after I let go. Any thoughts?

         I think you're safe using the bearings still. If you can get your
hands on a dial bore gauge to measure the actual ID of the bearings as
bolted in
the block that is the best way to check bearing clearance.
