Default How hard should the crank be to spin when installed with moly lube?

Just pust my crank in...evreything checks out, bearing clearances and the crank isn't bent, but it is tough to turn when installed. Is this normal?

Also, If it stops spinning, you need a wrench to get it to spin again, but once it spins it will spin by hand easily.

Thats not normal. You probably need a line bore.
