If you did all 3 motors at the same time,did you keep the 3 individual motor crankcase halves grouped separately ,motor#1 ,motor#2 motor#3 during the rebuild, not mixing them motor to motor on reassembly ? As i understand the machine process, the blocks are assembled ,bored for the cranks, then assembled, due to slight variations in the castings .
The thread started recently about gear case halves mixed and matched makes me think of this potential issue.
Did you resurface the crankcase halves mating surfaces? That would really cause a greater resistance than what you have told of here though.
I would go ahead and fill the gear cases also.
