So when I get home I'm going to rotate the crank to inspect the engine more in detail
But I have 2 questions. 1. I turn the crank in a clockwise motion? 2. What bolt do use to turn the crank?

Lol, I went out there with my brother and didn't realize how big that dam bolt is. I'm going to have to go to harbor freight tomorrow to get some big boy sockets. What size exactly is that bolt?

Thanks guys, i didn't even check to think the middle of the pulley. I should be able just to do it then with the tools I already have. Maybe once I get back from my morning class I'll go and try it out and see if I hear or see anything weird

Today I went out to rotate the crankshaft and the only thing I can notice is that half-way throw rotation is that it is hard for a bit then gets easy and kind of rotates on its own. I figure this must be the counter balance of the crankshaft it self but I just wanted to write on here and get clarification. Other than that, if you count from the timing side and away, the 4th con rod, when I push on it horizontally I can see oil squeeze out from between it and the crankshaft. Is this normal? Any and all advice or knowledge is welcome and appreciated.

Would I check from the bottom up or from the top down? One thing I did notice that could be my imagination was on, what my ignorant self will call a lobe, there seemed to be a spot cleaner then the rest like if it had struck something while rotating

No I'm a complete novice when it comes to the engines. Internals. I have a good grasp on everything else except that. What would be a sign of bent rods

it will be bent...you should be able to see all of the rods from top to bottom with the oil pan off...another way you can check if the head is off, is to check the clearance between the piston and the deck at top dead center...but like I said, from underneath you should be able to see a bent rod.
