here's what he did...lol
He tightened one main cap at a time and turned the crank inside of that..and it seemed harder to turn with ONLY the 3rd main cap torqued, compared to just the 1st or 2nd main cap torqued....he tried explaining to me, and I said lube em up and torque em all down,....then rotate

what do you mean 1-2-3 torqued them down ? you talking about he journals that you torqued ? I hope not, you need to torque all 5 in a specific criss-cross order or you'll warp the crank ... what about bearing clearances ? have you checked them with plastigage ?

Did you use new bearings and new assembly lube?
Dont rotate the crank while torquing the caps.
How did you store the crank while it was out of the car?
You should stand it on end, or place it back on the block if the block is out.
Cranks can, and do warp!
