I had just finished rebuilding an 88 n/a engine and the service manual says to turn the eccentric shaft for smooth movement. How easy should it turn? Is there a ft/lb rating or am i just going to have to find out when i put the motor in?

You should be able to turn it by hand grabbing the flywheel but it won't be very free spinning. it will have a bit of resistance.

it will be very easy to spin if your spark plugs ar out! if not then there might be a problem!

Spark plugs are out. Geez im not that dumb Yeah the engine does have a litle resistance and the best thing three nice poof from each rotor. I appreciate all of your guys help hopefully i can get this thing back together and running by tuesday, then i get to drive the car for the first time since since i bought Thanks again

good luck. As they mentioned you it should turn smoothly with the flywheel on. GL with the engine.
