Timing being too far advanced can cause hard cranking, or poor battery connections. Bearing clearances shouldnt do that unless somebody doesnt know how to measure before the engine is assembled, which you would have noticed when spinning the crank during assembly. Would have to be super tight to make it hard to start, and I don't think youd want it to start if its that tight.. can you try turning it over by hand with a breaker bar or something just to see? With the spark plugs out it should be fairly easy to turn by hand using the crank pulley bolt and a ratchet or breaker.. also I guess if it was really high compression that could be it..
