Yep, there is a burr, and the bolt was loose. Ive realigned everything and torqued to specs... I also decided to reinstall the timing and balancing belt just to make sure. I should be finish by tomorrow night then start the car. Ill keep you posted thanks all

make sure your oil pump drive gear isn't slipping. I hope you didn't forget the o ring.

another possibility is oil pressure relief valve. mine failed all of a sudden. Actually the sleeve in the block that it rides on came loose from the block and I got zero oil pressure.

I think you're onto the issue. Once you've installed all the seals and properly aligned the pulleys and torqued them to the proper specs, you should be out of the woods.

I've seen values from 150 to 160 but make sure the pulley and key are aligned correctly. Also, did you make sure all the seals, including the green one, are installed? When I replaced the oil pump sleeve and front crank seal my car was on jack stands. I couldn't develop enough force on the torque wrench to get the 150. So, I got a 5 foot pipe and put that on the handle and came in from the top to torque the bolt. It's essential to get that bolt tight or the oil pump won't work. Let us know how you've done.
Definitely a flywheel lock.

In other words, when seeking TDC, how many lb/ft is required to turn our engines? ( N/A)

It doesn't take much torque to turn the motor, especially with the plugs out. A normal hand wrench will do it. For convenience sake I use a torque wrench with a socket but it doesn't take much torque.

Woooooooot! It worked. It was the crank bolt. And that engine is sounding gooooooooood. Wonder if those new rod bearings could be doing that. Tks all for your help. Now I got to find that vacuum leak lol
