Default Re: Hard turning with new pistons

In reworking my old Ford tractor engines, I find the new engine seals are stiff as can be and really drag on the crankshaft. Could that be problem? Lot's of talk about presoaking or not on the seals. I usually put them in dry but then rub in assembly lube. A new type front seal helps a lot.
