I really don't think it's a valve problem. I hand cranked again with the head fully assembled and the valve windows open and the most resistance happens a bit before the intake valves open up, not during any valve movement.
So after hand cranking it a bunch and not encountering anything too bad, I decided to try with the key again. This time got a whole new sound. Just realized I didn't dump a whole new load of oil in there this time, so it was just going with the dregs that were left over after I took the side off 2 weeks ago.
No terrible sounds tonight, a familiar failing sound that I forget the meaning of. What causes this one?
