I did the pistons one at a time so did not get them or the bearing caps mixed up. I just got in from pulling the pan and loosening each cap, checking the bearings, regreasing and putting each on only finger tight. Still hard to turn by hand. Has to be the rings or pistons I guess.

New rings looked just like the old one except the old oil ring had no expander and the new one did. I put in the expander. The pistons were really tight going in and I thought this was a good thing!

I will check the block tomorrow for other issues but expect to be pulling the head again.

1. Used copper spray on the head gasket. Can this be used again after I pull it without problems?

2. If I drive out the pistons, will the rings stay okay or am I looking at another set?

This should not be this tough. Wish I had gone ahead with new sleeves and pistons with matching rings at this point and may yet end up there!

Any other ideas?????
