I just installed my crank shaft and it spins pretty easy a little tight but I don't feel any tight spots in it when i spin it slowly. But when I spin it fast with my hand it keeps going like half and inch to an inch then stops. Should it keep spinning till it stops on its own or should it keep spinning and slow steadily? Also i can hear the assembly lube cracking and stuff when I spin it like its a little tacky. Is all this normal? Seems to be fine to me but I figured id ask.

did you measure bearing clearance?
Sounds normal to me,

the bearing clearance was pretty much .018 to.020 all around.

If you know your clearances are good, once your lube is there and it feels good with no odd tight spots, you should be good to go. Make sure to pressure lube it before starting, and change the oil about 20 min after you get it started to get the assembly lube out of the oil and filter. Cut apart that filter and inspect as well as the next few at least just to be safe.

I spun it really slow and had my friend check it to and neither of is could feel anything. Do my clearances look pretty good nothong over .020 and nothing under .018. Seems they are good machine shop so and from what I read they are.
