Default Engine too tight to break in? Tips?

I am trying to break in a new Novamega SX12 SS and it is so tight that it keeps getting stuck before it can turn over on its own. I lubed the snot out of it with after run oil and tried heating it with a blow dryer to no avail. It will turn over a couple of times on the starter box and then get stuck. The starter box is unable to keep turning it over (old style starter box with 2X540 and 12V gelcell). The glow plug and ignitor are good. It has done this over and over again. I am going mental....

Any suggestions?
