style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>I checked the end play, it was
still at .003, I set it up to .005, engine is back in and same problem, its
tight when fully up to temp, still cranks but slowly </span></font></span><font

<span class=postbody1>and is stiff when turning over by hand. </span><br>
<br>
<span class=postbody1>Runs well, no expensive sounds, put about another 15
miles on it and little if any improvement. It quickly free's up after its been
off just a few minutes. </span><br>
<br>
<span class=postbody1>This motor is a 2056 and was run for about 1000 miles
with no stiffness problems before I pulled it apart for low oil pressure issues
and cam followers that were not rotating in the bores properly. </span><br>
<br>
<span class=postbody1>for this build Its got a new cam and lifters, checked the
bore, bearing fit etc, no problems and the cylinder set has about 1000 miles on
it, I never even pulled the pistons out of the cylinders when I pulled it
apart, so they *should* be broken in and OK, they were fine in the last build.
Same crank and bearings and case, no problems before. </span><br>
<br>
<span class=postbody1>Its still got the Joe Gibbs break in oil in it with about
40 miles on the motor </span><br>
<span class=postbody1>since I put it back in the car. Just not sure where to
go, I have a feeling I could pull it apart now and find nothing as its smooth
as silk when cold.<o:p></o:p></span></span></font></p>
