well, after alot of discussion, some research, more discussion and research... i concluded i needed to disassemble the bottom end loosen and re-torque the crank bolts.
the FSM states on DET application, if an angle wrench is not available then after initail "stretch" torque, again torque to 62-84 ft lbs.
i started at 62 which was too loose and worked my way up, ending at 73 as a desireable torque in reference to ability to turn the crank.
i hope this is ok as i am using ARP studs, and 80 was too tight.
im am still uncertain to what they were torqued to, and dont know how they got so tight, but all seems well now!
