aw shoot, i never followed up on this....my B.
i concluded that the torque wrench i was using was old and out of calibration. i bought a new one and at 80ft lb as a last horaah before i started taking everything apart, it spun freely as i think it should.
cams/gears went in last night, chain on. still spins nicely!
im psyched!!!!
thank you all for your help on this.
more questions to come im sure.
