i am putting togeather my 1600 motor. after i torque down all the nuts on my case the crank does not turn freely. i then took the case appart to check the bearings...none of them were pinched. what else could be the problem? what should the 6 main bolts be torqued to?

Your case is either warped, or one of the small dowls that keep the bearings from spining is misaligned.
Pull it back apart.
