Ok Group,

 Most engines have a predictable torque for turnover in a "like-new" rebuild.

 

A complete new seals rebuild without the plugs installed should turn over with just hands on the counter weight. Just a couple of foot pounds at the most. If there is an actual spec for that I have not seen it. Also the same effort to turn it both directions. There is no handedness to direction unless there is a piece adrift in there. I don't have the problem of two piece apex seals yet. I am looking forward to screwing that up a few times. I am also working on the wheel. (Reinventing the wheel).
