But I went out to check what I was getting voltage wise to the starter just now and it spun over with the starter just fine, at the speed it did before I put it up for a couple months.  So, I removed the multimeter and back to being really slow.  I just removed the lower, but I need to let my battery charge.  The reading I got from the multimeter said 6.87v or so but then the multimeter went blank when it was still cranking so I don’t know how accurate that was, I tried taking a jumper cable straight to the starter and still slow.

I haven’t thought about that billy-j, thought I did a pretty good job when I unstuck it, I took a hone to the cylinder walls, and took a brush and a mix of lube and rust remover to the pistons and freed the rings, was there something I missed, if so please advise me so I can fix it and get this thing running again.  I put all new gaskets on it, weather I made some or bought some.  The only thing I can think I did wrong was over torqued a connecting rod cap or maybe the block halves.
