P/S GEAR QUESTION

Got it done today, but.......Can anyone advise if there is supposed to be a bit of a tight spot as you cross over center? Gear moves smooth with all new seals and a good cleaning. Adjusted the sector shaft as per specs. It gets a little tighter as you cross over center. Is this normal? BTW. This is mounted in a vise and not under power, or full of fluid. Everything was well lubed with PS fluid during assembly.
