Remember: it binds every other turn of the crankshaft. To me this equals to binding of the distributor shaft/gear.
When I started to read the OP I thought: "they must have lubed the back of the bearings." But then I read it happens every two turns of the crankshaft - which exonerates the crankshaft and pistons. When I read the distributor shaft is already in, as well as the oil pump, I had very little doubt about who to "bring down town to have a talk". We'll have to wait for an update from Catfish.
