IIRC I was quite surprised at how hard it was to turn the crank when I first installed the rope seal, as mentioned below. The rope seals are weird things for someone not used to them, as I was not.

There is an issue with the oil fill/breather tube, if it is installed backwards it can hit the crank, that might be issue with the "clunk". That's an easy fix just pull it out and turn it 180 degrees and push it back in.
