Thank you. I believe the cases were used together in the past and, at this stage, I cannot verify they are a matched set. Still, how can I determine whether the crankshaft is free enough to continue?

Con rods are good. It got stiff when I tightened down the web and worse when I applied the timing side case. I’m pretty sure the drive side case was warped from welding and I will have to discard it. Please see my inquiry about my spare case. Thanks for your interest.
