rebuild failure?
I am attempting to rebuild my 5.0. i had the crank turned .010 and .010. I assembled the crank and that went well. I got the pistons in and just torqued the rod caps. Now I cant turn the crank whatsoever. I checked the plastiguage. The clearance is within spec. what gives? I measured everything. I am truly frustrated

Just to check the basics. Do you have the chamfer on the rods facing the right way? Did you set the crank end play? Bearings are the right size? Did anything go together hard?

I am reusing the stock pistons as they are the TRW (factory) forged units. i will have to check that the rods are all in correctly I was too frustrated last night to figure it out so I quit. nothing went together hard.. everything rotated when the rod bolts were finger tight, but after torquing them to spec I couldnt budge the crank.

Look at the arrow in this image they refer to the radius which is what I am talking about, don't pay attention to the oil hole chamfer they refer to.

Guys- Not that it matters, but i did have the number 7 and 8 pistons in the wrong cylinders. I fixed that. I also did have the number 5 piston in wrong and the number 4 cap on wrong. Thank you so much for your time. You guys rule!
