    that sounds normal. when you started to turn it, it was probably on the down stroke, and then when it got real hard, it was on the up stroke. and the sound was the air being released after compression.
    Everyday I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive.

    If you can move it easy it is time for a rebuild.

    It should be easy to move, but not while it's compressing...
    Just run the engine, if it's easy to tune, it's ok...
    I love the smell of nitro fumes in the morning!
