Help need,,, 2f engine turn over with no oil (1 Viewer)

[SergP]

I trying turn over 2f engine (with .5 head) with starter for few seconds (without plugs)
It is rotate flywheel but very slowly. Can't read compression.
No oil in engine. I do used Permatex lube on all bearings.
I can turn over by bar with 32-38 ft/Lb torque. Do this torgue number is too high for this engine?
Should I try it with oil (10W30?) or I have to back to "high" torque issue first?

Why would you try to turn it over with the plugs in, making compression....with no oil in it?

Either way, it needs oil.

no plugs .. I have remove them during test (this picture before test)

so the engine is tight with no plugs?
sounds like a rebuild is in order.

This is my concern...I hope the starter will take it.
How tight it should be? I see many video,... people used a bar to turn it over ..
but I can't find any definition of "tight"...

Also I have used old starter... Could this be a starter problem too?

If you can’t turn it with that breaker bar, you have some engine problems....

as I understand it, you did rebuild this engine. with assembly lube, and now it's hard to turn over. How about just squirting some oil down the sparkplug holes to lube the rings and cylinders? a newly rebuilt engine will be hard to rotate, I don't recall the torque specs though...

Engine Assembly Lubes and Break-In Oils

Assembly lubes are one of the most important parts of an engine build. But, some components are hard to lubricate prior to start-up, and other parts allow assembly oils to drain off during storage. Let’s address the best way to overcome both of these problems.

For clear description.. I can able to turned over pulley by two hands.. but not by one..

That does not sound out of the ordinary.

I have added engine oil today and prime oil pump with drill. I also add some oil down the sparkplug holes.
Pulley turn over much smoother.
I guess the problem with starter. Starter should able trurn flywheel even with plugs.
