VerifiedHi I'm Wayne,
I will help you with this,
as a engine rebuilder for 32+ years
What comes to my mine and my opinion,
is that engine is tight, may have not checked piston clearance
That is why starter drags, I have seen this several times when engine rebuilt at another shop, it will loosen in time, but think what it is doing, wearing down rings and cylinders
