The tip I got from a very reputable machine shop here in San Angelo, Tx was that a newly rebuilt engine should turn over with 35 or less ft lbs. This is without spark plugs and before initial start up. After first start up and when engine oil has circulated, and engine is warm, it should turn with considerably less effort. I don't know where he got the number; probably from many years of experience.
