2019 summer race.... Jadaharabi vs 318willrun

What's wrong with the 2.94's?
first it was the yoke. busted off bolt, rest of the holes rusted and threads shot so I thought I'd change yokes. But when I rotated the 2.94's using the yoke, it spins free for about 2/3 turn then it gets stiff for the last 3rd.
