please help
i have been helping a buddy do a 6.0 swap on his truck. 99 silverado, LQ4, MS3, slightly worked heads. anyways, we were bolting the trans back up last night and i was turning the engine with a breaker bar so he could tighten the torque converter bolts and suddenly, it bound up. i went back the other way about 1/8th turn and went forward again and it went past the previous bind and kept spinning until it bound up again. i continued to turn back 1/8th turn, followed by the full rotation and the same thing kept happening.
fast forward to today. he puts the entire driveline back together and when i stopped by his shop after work, i try it again, but this time, when it binds up, i cant do like i had previously done to get past the bind, but i can turn the motor the opposite way (counterclockwise if facing towards front of motor while in front) and it does not bind up, but there is a faint "click" every 1/8th of a turn or so. i know for a fact it is not the torque converter binding because i stabbed it all the way (3 clicks). what do yall think?

Exactly what I was gonna ask! If the spark plugs are in you would be building compression, and it would be hard to move past until you let it bleed down a little. If not, then I don't know. Hope you get it worked out!
