Default Newly built b18 block - turn over by hand, not quite right? - video.

Hi everyone, hoping someone can take a look at this video and see whats what.

The block was freshly built 3/4 weeks ago however today after installing the cambelt ive noticed that the crank isnt turning over to perfection, seems to have a 'lump'

The lump is obviously where the blue tape is, to overcome this whilst turning i give around 10% more pressure to the rachet.

Was wondering if it would be anything to worry about? Other than this flat spot the crank takes 10-12nm to turn over.

Are you sure is not just building compression? Spark Plugs in?

I agree, but if that's not the case, would you remove the timing covers, recheck your work, and keep us posted?

I always thought it was a good sign when you hit a tough spot in the rotation assuming everything else is in order. Good Compression = Mucho Bueno.

The spark plugs are in.

Timing is 100% correct.

The spec is a low compression b18c4 block with a p72 integra type r head.

It's defiantly not a compression kind of feel - its more of a 'notch'
