You will not be able to easily turn the cam over by hand because of the pressures being applied by the lifters. Not being able to turn the cam over by hand woth leverage from the cam geat is an issue &shows binding somewhere & it's not the Mobil 1, it's something else.

The cam is coming back off and getting cleaned of all its Mobil 1, clean the head areas, then re-assemble with assembly lube. I tried to turn the engine over by hand, and couldn't. I might get back into it tomorrow morning after work. For now, I'm relaxing and sleeping the rest of the day away.
