[TR] Piston Ring Replacement - Problem Solved

[Art Graves]

A few days ago I posted a question regarding a hard to rotate crankshaft
after replacing the piston rings and rod bearings.  I received a lot of good
advice, so I decided to check my work.  And after thinking about it more I
decided that I must have put the connecting rod end caps on wrong.  Today I
checked that and discovered that I had put them on exactly wrong.  I knew
that there is a right and wrong way to do the job, but I misread the
instructions and did it wrong.  Now the connecting rods move (a little) back
& forth and the engine turns over easily.  I put all the other bits on (what
a bunch of work!) and was able to start the engine.  It sounds pretty good.

Anyway, all's well that ends well.  Thanks for the input and reality check.
