That sounds completely normal. Are you able to get a socket on the crank instead of the fan pulley to try to turn it? The fan pulleys usually slip when turning an engine over, I would expect a fresh engine to be even more difficult to rotate.
I'm encouraged to hear that you could turn it over while adjusting the valves without too great an effort, that means that the problem is further out (away from the deepest bowels of the engine) than that, I suspect there may be some interference in the bellhousing of maybe the pilot bearing is really jacked up for some reason.
