Did you check the ring gaps? are the oil segment rings fitted correctly. how hard is hard to turn? can you turn it by hand with plugs out? it's a bit hard to know how hard it is with out feeling it. A re ringed engine will be firm to turn, but it should spin freely with the starter, Did you oil all the rings and bore before fitting pistons?
