Default DLE 55 hard to start

Hi. I am a big fan of DLE. I own a DLE20, a DLE30, a DLE35RA and a DLE55. I can start all my engines with a chicken a stick except my DLE55. The problem with the DLE55 is that it is too tight to rotate it
with my heavy duty starter and at the same time is too hard to start it with a chicken stick. Actually I was anticipating after a while that it would get less tight and start easier, but instead it seems the same or even more tight! So a friend of mine helps me and we start it with a chicken stick, but it needs a lot of effort to do so. Its performance when flying is fine and it doesn't seem to overheat.
Is there something I can do about it?
Should I be worried that there is something wrong with it?
