Default RE: C6 P/S

Ok, I finally got the chance to start the break in process, I got two 2 minute and one 3 minute cycles through it, I guess it's going good, after it cooled, I checked to see if the pinch was still good and I had a hard time turning it over with my finger with the glow plug in. Oddly though, with the plug out there is only little resistance when I turn it over, so I grabbed my modded one that runs great, and its pretty much the same way (the modded one has close to 2 gallons on it) I never really payed attention to that so I guess its nature of the beast??? Because with the glow plug in they are pretty tough to turn over.

I did not use my break in stand this time, I set my throttle on my radio to only open to about 25% and drove it up and down the driveway with the temps at no less than 200 and no more than 225ish. So if this is not normal I have no idea what is going on here. I'm guessing that this is how it is for these particular mills, the only thing is my S7 and WS7 had more pinch with the plugs out, or maybe I'm loosing my touch or overlooking something here???? Does anyone else notice this with the C6??? If anyone that has experience with theese engines, please give me some input, I'm not too familiar with the C6 line of engines, I know that other RB'S have a ton of pinch after break in as I've used nothing but RB's since 2000. THANKS!!!!!!
