Tight to turn enging

Hi
I have a 2 liter mag cased engine that is new to me.
Even with the plugs out the engine is unbelivebly tight to turn over (by hand) almost like frozen solid.
If I put a wrench on the pully I need like a 16" extension to break it free, then that movement is easy. If I continue to turn the engine over a full 360 degrees it loosens up and you can turn it without much resistance.
2 days later (or maybe less) and its frozen again.

The only thing I'm sure of is that the cam chafts is't binding, I could turn them when I inspected the chain tensioners.

Ideas?
