Sounds correct. Were clearances measured before installation?

 

[nattynuts5886]

Yes every clearence was measured and was correct

Could the engine have to much compression that you cannot over come. Try turning it with the spark plugs out to releave compression.

Is it in neutral?

 

[nattynuts5886]

no spark plugs in and it still wont turn, is it possible for a connecting rod to get cockeyed?

 

[nattynuts5886]

it is just in the frame its not connected to the transmission just sitting in the frame no spark plugs in it either and it is still froze, it has new bearings and sleeves and pistons, could a connecting rod be in slightly wrong?

Could be a connecting rod installed backwards (180degrees out) or too tight of fit on the parts.
