Yes, you will feel the engine become difficult to turn because of coil bind. Watch the valve springs closely and see if they bind or not. Use a feeler gauge if necessary if it is difficult to see the space between the coils.
So, there should be some clearance between the spring coils while under load? Is it possible my friend had me buy the wrong length pushrods and that caused coil bind. However, we did not witness any while adjusting the lash.
