Crank wont turn after converter install.
Should the crank not turn after you meet the tranny and motor? We are trying to rotate it so we can put the converter bolts. This is my first converter swap with the motor and tranny out of the car. Just doesn't make sense that if you loosen the bolts for the tranny a tad bit the crank turns very easily. But once you tighten the bolts down, you cannot turn that sucker anymore. Could it be that the tranny needs oil or that is not hooked up just yet? So pretty much the cranks turns and the converter spins when not group completely.
Any help would be appreciate it.

Well, it's in there right. It's not flush with the tranny it actually goes in an out and rotates smoothly. But now it makes a squeeling noise from the inside of the tranny. You think it needs oil? Hope there are no damaged internals.
I checked the tc hub and where the tc mounts on the tranny and everything seems to be okay.

You might be hearing the low roller turning which is in the back of the case. If what your hearing is coming from the pump area I don't think a little oil is going to fix it. At this point the trans already had oil in it because your doing a tc swap correct? There should be some lube in the trans alreay therefor a little oil will not help the pump at this point. Did you hear the noise prior to bolting it to the block?
