I was attempting to turn the engine over by the crank with a 27mm socket
and ratchet. Make any difference? :)

He replaced the head. Cam bearings are two bolts, and must be walked
down one turn at a time on the four or five bearing caps specified in
the shop manual to avoid warping or binding the cam.

RR of the cracked head. I installed the bearing caps in the exact order they
were removed, they are numbered 1-7. Thank goodness :D Bearing caps 2,3,4, and
7 were installed 1 turn per bolt at a time. I'm thinking that the mechanical
interference is not enough lube/metal on metal. That's why
Chain guide go in OK between cam sprocket and injection timer? As I
remember, it's possible to get that one in upsidedown, in which case
the chain won't move.
I could turn mine fairly easily with a 1/2 drive standard length
ratchet.

Chain guide was never removed, always stayed on the chain.

Plan's been revised. 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

Should be fairly easy to rotate a 603 -- if quite stuck, something is
very wrong. I would remove the cam and make sure you have #1 on TDC.
Check the installation, too -- if you got it sorta cocked, it may not
turn because it's bound.
It's not hard to turn the cam with a large screwdriver
and it's not easy to move.

I'm sure I wasn't off by a tooth since I had lightly scribed marks on the cam
sprocket and chain right at TDC.
Tom's suggestion of using the cam sprocket to move the camshaft worked. Cam is
on and I can continue on with the reassembly. Thanks for the help.
