If the sparkplugs are in, you are feeling the compression stroke.

Subject: Slight pressure after oil pump install?

Hello list,
   As some of you know, Im in the process of
rebuilding my 2.0 aircooled engine.  The case innards
and case went together nicely, as did the flywheel and
endplay.  The next task on the list was the oil pump.
I lined the slot in the cam up with the tang on the
pump, and gently tapped the pump into place...it
seemed to go in fine.  Now when I rotate the engine, I
get a slight resistance around top dead center, and at
180 degrees out...what gives?  Any thoughts would be
appreciated.  Is this normal?
            -Erin
