Default Crank Won't Turn over when bolts are torqued...

I've posted a question an individual had in another thread about his set-up. It wasn't getting many suggestions and i'd like to see what people think so here it is...

im trying to get my engine to start but it wont turn over. it wont turn over because its a rebuilt engine and i think they over torqued it. i can turn the crank with a 1/2" ratchet but the starter doesnt have enough power to turn it over. any ideas?

Either it was put together wrong, like the caps are backwards or something stupid like that.
