^^^it was directed towards you and anyone else, but not how you interperated it.
what i meant was.....further advice from anyone who has experience building a motor is more than welcomed.
as i rotate the crank as it sits at 73lbs, it spins freely. i can use one hand without force. there "is" a sorta scraping sound as you describe. i was thinking dry as well.
my only concern at the moment is that "compression stroke" feeling i spoke of in my previous post. it happens twice a rotation, when the pistons reach the top of the cylinders like a compression stroke, but there arent any plugs in yet......normal?
