So here is what I'm wondering. I have my new heads on my motor without a single pushrod installed. I am able to turn the motor over pretty easily with the ratchet. Intuitively it seems like it should be quite difficult. What is the deal? Did I disolve my piston rings with all the brakecleaner I sprayed in there?

I turned my 93 over by hand with a rachet and no breaker bar. I'm not a beast either at 155lbs. Once I got it going I could spin it easily. I wouldn't be worried about anything.

Did you have any push rods installed?

it should pretty hard i think cuz all your doin is building compresion with out it able to go any where. It just must be blowin by. Im doin my head and cam and i only had one head one and no pushrods and it was hard

Intuitively you would think it would be hard...not sure if this is the case though. Anybody else?

Its not hard to spin the motor on a fully assembled block with accessories, why would it be hard now?

just make sure you change your oil before start up

It will get harder once pushrods are in and real hard when the plugs go in.

I had all the pushrods in. I didn't have plugs in it though.
