Turning ease after rebuild
 

We rebuilt our '86 13B last night. New springs, seals. The book says after bolting it back together that it should turn over easily. Does that mean by hand? We have to put the flywheel nut on and turn it with a wrench. Then it turns easily and smoothly. Does this sound right? Or do we have a problem here?

that sounds about right. you should be able to turn it over by hand when you hold the outside edge of the flywheel. If you have the sparkplugs in it is obviously going to be harder to turn. I think you are fine.

That sounds fine...
BTW, what torque did you crank down the tension bolts to?
