I had a similar problem when I was assembling my motor... I made the stupid mistake of putting a bolt out of place in the oil pump. The longer bolt that I had put in was too long and would hit the crank, not allowing it to turn when I gave it a test-spin. Maybe...?

first and foremost im an IDIOT... ok now thats out of the way
when i installed the oil pump i put it on first and slide the guide gear on after... which means i put it on backwards bc it is supposed to fit the other way now it is on properly and nothing besides my pride is hurt... i knew it would be a learning experience building my motor i just didnt know i would learn that im retarded no offense to real retards
