Long story short, I had the head of my 134 fill with rain water and cause all kinds of problems.
I had lost compression in a couple of the cylinders prior to this so after pulling the head for a rebuild I decided to replace the rings.
Old rings were all seized and pistons needed lots of cleaning.
Got everything cleaned up, new rings (standard) installed, assembly lubed and reinstalled the pistons.
With the head removed I could turn it over by hand before the piston removal but since the reinstall I cannot turn it over by hand.
Reinstalled in the same order they were removed from.
Pistons slid into cylinders without much effort.
Used same rod bearings.
One note - I did have problems getting the #4 cylinder rod cap to ease onto the crank - all others went on without any effort. I removed The #4 cap and tried to turn it over - still without any success.
Any ideas?
Another note - I did have assembly lube on the rod bearings and oil on the crankshaft. Potential problem?
