Anthony,
Yes that is normal. The clearances will increase a little and the drag will
decrease as the engine is run in. Have you done the crush on the main
bearing and con rod shells. Also the side clearances on the rods?
Cheers

I've just installed my forged pistons in my FJ20T Block.
Just wondering for those who have previously rebuilt a motor.... is a tight
crankshaft turn mean a good fit???
I'm turning the crank with the pistons and rods all tightened up to spec,
and it seems that the rings being new ofcourse are giving the motor a
"tight" feel about the turn when they are in motion in the bore. Is this
normal??? When I run the motor in will it all set in to place??? BTW
everything (including rings) have been gapped to the right spec and
bearings have been flexiguaged and clearances checked.
Thanks
Anthony
