I am doing my first engine rebuild and just about ready to seal the case halves back together. I've watched Jake's video about five time and it is really helpful. I did a test run and the case halves gout about a cm apart and would not go any further. When Jake did his they went togother much easier. Is this normal or is there some things I should be looking out for? Once I get the sealant on the case I want to get it together reasonably fast? Any tips from more experienced rebuilders is appreciated!

Check yer main bearings and make sure the pin in the main bearing bore is indeed in the hole for the pin the bearing, and that you haven't dented the main bearing
Deform that bearing and the crank will rotate tight now and crap out later. Check the main bearing box to ensure the outside of the main bearings aren't oversized and larger than the bearing saddle The bearings can be oversized .010 or .020 oversized to match with an align bore of the bearing saddles.
