Installed my cylinder head today. Thats where my problem lies. It feels as if its binding, well, not really binding because I can get it to turn over, its just a hell of a lot harder. It starts to get significantly harder about 20 degrees ATDC, which in my mind, is kinda weird. Pistons are well away from TDC and the valves that are open, are starting to close. So its definitely not piston to head, or piston to valve. What could this be? I was using a small crescent wrench since I didn't have the correct size socket, so it could even be that. The short block rotated perfectly fine and very smooth. Please run some suggestions my way.
