Default Crankshaft bearings or? Help.

Dear all,

I'm finishing my new car and face an issue I can't figure out.

Before I fit the clutch, I can turn the crankshaft resistance free until compression kicks in.

After installation of centax type clutch, there is resistance when I turn the crankshaft.

I can't really figure out what is wrong, bearing are lubed etc.

I took the flywheel of and tried a shim before the cone, same issue, the cone match the inner part of front bearing perfectly too.

I am also almost sure the crank has been pushed all the way in, it is very very tight, but believe I got it all the way.

Please help out, I can't remember if this is normal or something is wrong.

Thanks in advance
