spare motor WTFH issue. #2 rod binds. - Page 2

This is a completely WTFH issue to me. my S10's spare engine a 2.2L 4 cyl, evidently has the most unique problem I've seen todate. When torqued to the factory specification of 32 lb ft on the rod end cap, that rod WILL NOT move for anything. it should glide smooth as silk on the crank, but instead, it simply will not move for shit. I cant figure this one out.

The motor turned absolutely fine prior to disassembly, then upon reassembly, no new parts, just an inspecton of internals, that rod WILL NOT move when torqued down.
