Every time I assemble an engine I plasti-guage each bearing and turn it over by hand carefully noting resistance. Each one should be similar and the engine will progressively get harder to turn with each bearing. If there are no unusually tight ones you likely are good to go. I get concerned if the engine is hard to turn with a socket on and breaker handle on the flywheel nut.
