Hi Tony,
Easier than that. We installed the bearing shell for the intermediate shaft, lubed up those shells, and with nothing else in the motor, put the shaft in - no chains, no crank... mated the halves together, and spun down 1/2 dozen or so nuts. expected to be able to simply spin the intermediate shaft. Did not have any plasti-gauge, but the shaft did bind, and we were wondering if that is in any way normal. tried 2 sets of bearings - Porsche bearings, and non-Porsche...
When all the bits are installed - pump, crank, bearings etc and the case is bolted up, the crank will turn, but at this point there is some mechanical advantage helping and things will turn...
