I doubt that this is a piston/ring issue since he managed to get them in the bore. It's probably the rod offset problem. The use of white grease as assembly lube scare the poop outta me. Go get some STP or even plain old motor oil. Pull your rod caps off, and massage that oil into the rod bearings. Assemble each rod/cap one at a time, and spin the crank repeatedly after you've snugged the cap down. Spin after each one- that way if it locks up you'll know which rod assembly is an issue. Once all are in and snug, and it still spins, go back and torque your rod bolts ( describing bolt stretch is outta the question here). Spin after each cap is torqued, again feeling for problems.
You should be able to spin it with 15-20 ftlbs max.
