I am working on my 2056 build and have been setting my valve and pushrod geometry with light weight springs and turning the engine over by the flywheel with the plugs out with out issue. This is one cylinder / valve at a time.

I now have the double springs installed and started to install the pushrods and rockers. I am finding the valve springs on the cam lobes will roll the engine backwards when releasing the fly wheel. Multiple valves lashed I need 2 hands( slightly exaggerated ) to turn the engine over. Still no plugs. Flywheel holder /turner is better but....

Just checking is if this is still "NORMAL" as I button up the valve covers shortly

-Best Regards
