A guy I know told me a story of his neighbor rebuilding a sb mopar. His neighbor came over and asked if he would come over a look at his engine because it was hard to turn over. When the got there his neighbors kid and a buddy had a 36" pipe wrench and a 5' bar on the balancer and the kid was cranking the starter and it still wouldn't turn! Turned out they put all the connecting rods in with the chamfers facing each other. They also said the rod caps would not slip on by hand to whole way so they cranked the down with the nuts. Some people should not pick up tools.
