Thanks Dan and Jerry,
I was thinking the same thing as far as dropping the lower. When I first tried it with a breaker bar on the flywheel nut it did have a tight spot. Doused it good with deep creep and PB Blaster and it seems to turn fine now with the bar, no noticible tight spot now. Even when spinning it with the plugs out it is still slow, but smoother. I’ll drop the lower and try what Jerry suggested and see if it helps. Had a hard time finding this motor so I hope it works out. When I bought it, it had a 135 hood on it, but serial number shows it as a 115. Still enough motor to get me into trouble 😉
