Probably best to take it back apart, clean everything and try again.
I agree with the take it apart and clean it advice. A small piece of grit under a bearing can cause problems.
However... I'd either plastigauge the bearings or even better:
# Remove the crankshaft. # remove and clean all bearings and put them back in place, making sure that you install the thrust bearing at the right place. # Use a good quality assembly lube on each bearing contact surface. # Clean the crankshaft and lay it into the engine block. # Make sure the crankshaft turns freely. # Install ONE main bearing cap. (naturally, match the bearing cap to it's original home. Most are numbered or otherwise identified) # After the cap is torqued, make sure you can still freelyturn the crankshaft. There should be no resistance other than what is naturally occurring from the assembly lube. It should turn evenly. # Install the next cap following the same directions and verifying that the crankshaft still turns freely. Keep installing one cap at a time until all main bearing caps are torqued and the crankshaft is still turning freely. If you encounter ANY resistance at this stage, the block must be align bored. # Next, install the rod bearings. If the pistons are out of the block, I'd test them by installing them to the crankshaft from the bottom first, just to make sure they're turning freely, then remove them and install the piston properly. Of course, make sure the rod cap is the same one that was originally taken off. Rod caps are matched to the rods when they're manufactured. If you don't put them back right they'll bind.
# If any rod bearing does not turn freely on the crankshaft, you'll need to take them ALL to a machine shop and have the rods reconditioned. Sometimes a rod "big end" can pound out of round by a couple thousandths, messing up the fit.

I Bought a 1986 corvette with no keys how do you bypass vats system?
You take the VIN of that vehicle to an authorized GM dealer. The dealer will then look it up and find out the original key code for the vehicle. You can then have the key recereated with the proper chip. This might entail some significant cost, but it's the easiest solution. Incidentally, the dealer will also be able to likely determine the vehicle's repair and ownership history. You also must have proof of ownership,registration card or title in Your name.If you could just go to dealer with VIN alot of cars would be stolen!
i had this same problem. dealership wanted $1500.00 to replace vats system. i ended up bypassing it! it works great!!http://vats.likeabigdog.com/
AnswerThe resistor would only bypass key and lock cylinder, while the core of the security system (the TDM) would still remain in the loop. To bypass the entire security system a full bypass is needed.With a full bypass you can throw out the TDM and everything that is part of VATS.http://newrockies.ca/

How much was a Corvette sting ray worth in 1962?
They didn't call Corvettes "Sting Ray" in 1962. They didn't bring out the Sting Ray Corvettes until 1963. The 1962 Corvette's base price is $4,038.
The name Corvette came from a class of warships that were small, highly maneuverable and fast. The Corvette's speed and agility allow them to harass, attack and destroy larger and more heavily armed ships. The Corvette is aptly named, considering that when the Chevrolet Corvette was introduced in 1953 it was significantly smaller, lighter, faster and more maneuverable than the vast majority of American made vehicles of the day.
If the turn signals on a 1969 Corvette suddenly stopped working what could be wrong?
The turn signal switch has a plug mounted on the steering column near the pedals. There are metal terminal ends crimped to the wires. Sometimes corrosion is a factor, or the terminal ends work apart. I used to back pin the plugs with my meter to check for continuity across the plug.

How do you remove electric window from 1977 corvette?
if you need to replace the power window motor (& not the glass) -
remove the door panel by removing attaching screws at the handle & front, bottom and rear of the panel. remove the internal door lock knob on models with knob. then carefully using a door panel removal tool or super carefully with a flat blade screwdriver, by prying the door panel off (if it resists, you've likely left a screw in somewhere) starting prying at the bottom of the door & working your way upwards at front and back. once it's loose, you have to slide the door panel upwards to unhook it where it meets the window. with it removed completely, carefully peel back the moisture barrier plastic to reveal the door. at the very bottom of the door, you should see a small metal access panel. remove the panel to reveal access to the window motor. the motor is attached to the window regulator with three bolts. unplug the two wires leading to the motor first, by pinching the tab on the end of the plug & pulling away from the motor. once unplugged, pull the 3 attaching bolts & slide the motor out by twisting until it will fit thru one of the door holes. replace with new motor doing the reverse. when putting the door panel back in, make sure to firmly hook it over the top of the door & make sure it's pushed all the way down at both front and back before attempting to go any further - otherwise your door panel will be stuck "half off" & you'll have to remove everything all over again.
