All 4 pushrods are spinning. The rear cylinder definitely has more resistance than the front. What am I doing wrong here?
1) Pulled rocker covers, clips on pushrod tubes and spark plugs
2) Put a piece of paper towel in the front cylinder spark plug hole and rotated rear wheel until it popped out. Used a pencil in the hole to verify it was at the top.
3) Rotated the wheel back and forth to verify and rockers didn't move.

2012 Street Glide. Got about 4-5k on it. Had it for one riding season and decided to powder coat all of the chrome.

The exhaust push rods are black and should be on the lifters furthest away from cyl and intake push rods are plain color and should be on the liters closest to the cyl.
beyond that I an not sure where to go next.

Well. Everything is rechecked. Every electrical connection is right. Got oil. Checked. Double checked. Engine spins freely with plugs out by hand (rotating rear wheel). Watching rockers and springs while rotating and no binding. It's not 20 degrees and you have 50 or 60 weight oil.
I'd put it back together and fire it up again. Listen and obviously shut it down after a minute or so if it's still clattering.
My brother and I rebuilt a Toyota supra engine back some 25 years ago. It clattered bad for it seemed like 2 minutes. We shut it down. Restarted. And it was fine. Scared the crap out of us..
