I am rebuilding my moline g 350 the engine is completely finished and I try to crank it from the pot to see how it will turn and it is way too hard to turn, no way starter will pull it, any suggestions to make it turn smoother?
 
You need to find out where the problem is. I would say pull the pan and loosen rods and mains till you find the problem
 
You need to find out where the problem is. I would say pull the pan and loosen rods and mains till you find the problem. Did you not turn the engine over as you install each rod and piston? How about the crank when there were no rods or you had not torqued each main cap?
 
I loosed rods and mains and got them loose then it didn't turn at all, I torques them back to about 60ftlb, what should they be?
 
I"ve had an accessory prevent a motor from turning such as the water pump or mag drive. Also had flywheel bolts that were too long cause this problem.
 
Had an incident when I had my Jet apart last summer, engine absolutely would not turn. I had installed a bolt in one of the bell housing holes that was too long, it engaged the fly wheel. The stud was used to lift the engine, simple grief.
