[Half-Inch Stud]

Home builds can use a Go// No-go method. Many / every time i check short block TQ resistance, there is a purpose to see about a few tings;

During MainCap install, and particularly the Thrust Cap. So that means #4 Cap install plud another Cap, to get the feel of what causes a rotation bind. Once resolved, then all .caps go on and rotational TQ is dead smooth. Rear Seal is minor if 1-piece. Rope adds a bit but smooth rotational TQ.
No seal, and the crank ought rotate with 1-finger tugging a counterweight.

Each Slug add TQ due to CYl walls, but you ought check Rodplay (and rock) on Crank before install to avoid surprises. Yea i've seen 35'Lb to low 20s due to stock stack vs Chevy stack. So you will kinda know the rotational TQ depending on the Ring stack and CYL hone money you decided on.

Finally, that's about it.
