I need to make a correction. The harder to turn than normal occurs when cylinder 1 (farthest from the cam chain) is on the intake cycle and cylinder 2 is on the exhaust cycle. When it turns, the chain actually seems to tense more, which causes a noise from the CCT where its being pushed back in. This tells me that the springs/valves on the exhaust side cyl 2 are stiffer. This seems to be causing the camshaft to rise slightly which in turn stretches the chain upwards resulting in a tighter chain. (This is with the head from Motor 2). Head from motor one seems to have had a similar issue.
So, the springs seem to be fine, leading me to suppose that either A.) the clearances are just way out of wack, and/or B.) the valves are sticking.
Not sure what to do if the valves are sticking :/
