Re: How tight is tight?
I've always gone by the following:
It should not take more then 35 foot pounds torque to turn the engine over at the crank bolt with everything assembled. If the head is on, perform this test with out the spark plugs in.
As long as all of the clearances are in spec.
If it is tighter then that, one by one loosen the rod bolts and perform the test. If you find that the assembly loosens up then that rod was the problem. If not, then keep going until it loosens up. If it is still tight then move to the main caps and do the same thing.
