318 LA rebuild after losing a valve seat

You should be able to rotate the crank by hand with just the crank in, and after installing up to 4 pistons, after that it starts getting too tight to turn by hand and you will need a socket and ratchet to rotate it...

The crank rotated smooth as silk by hand before the pistons. After the first and second I noticed a marked increase in resistance.

The reman didn't come with bearings, I ordered them separately.
