Sounds good to me.
I would use regular motor oil to lubricate the cylinders, WD-40 is not a very good lubricant. On a freshly rebuilt engine that has not yet run, it will always be harder to turn the crank when the pistons are mid stroke and much less effort when the pistons are at the end of their stroke. Just oil everything really good, put everything back together and get it in the car. You may want to use some assembly lube on the cam lobes.
My opinion,
