Take it back apart. You have something seriously wrong. First 1by 1 loosen rod nuts each time try to turn engine. Be sure to have rubber tubing on rod bolts so as not to damage crank journals as you push pistons back out. Did you check ring gaps prior to installing rings on pistons. Pipe wrench to turn engine is bad damaging practice.
