Camshaft question (car wont start)
Why would the camshaft be hard to turn after engine removal and reinstallation? What went wrong?

Just the camshaft without any belts on it? Did you properly remove the head in the proper sequence and in multiple steps? Did you remove the cam properly and install it properly with a good assembly lube? If the head is warped too much the cam saddles can get out of alignment and stop the cam from being able to turn. You could also though, have valve issues.

My friend rebuilt the head (after a bhg). It was machined and also had a valve job, so he must have not put everything back in the correct sequence.
Or what else could he have screwed up? I'm gonna have to check up on it tomorrow (it's at his place), and I'll post an update.

If your friend did not set up the valve adjustment properly, that can cause your trouble.

Update
Turns out the main and connecting rod bearings were damaged. Given that I drove my car perfectly fine to his place (he rode with me), I take it he somehow damaged them by not putting everything back in the correct sequence.
I'm gonna have a bitch fit now...  Next time I'll do it myself, I don't care how long it takes.
