i got all my pistons installed tonight, 81.5mm. i poured a pool of oil on top of them and rotated the assembly to get all the walls lubed up. but. how much force should it take to rotate a fresh bottom end with new bearings, pistons, rods, rings, etc. i had to use a wrench on the crank to turn it. it wasnt hand turnable but took a fair amount to turn it with the wrench, more like big pliers which made it harder. does it get easier with oil pressure in the there or something?

 

damn i meant BLOCK ASSEMBLED!!

 

Well its not going to spin like a skateboard wheel. I'm sure you know that.

 

yeah haha i know, i just dont know how easy it should be.

 

its gonna take a wrench to turn it. i dont really know how else to describe it
