Greg,
I don't think it makes an difference which pistons you install when.
However, the last time I had a problem similar to what you describe, was when
I rebuilt my Volvo P1800 B18 engine. What I learned from that, is every time
in install a piece, main bearing cap, piston and connecting rod, cam, etc.
you should rotate the engine. That way, when it doesn't rotate, you'll know
it was the last item you installed.
Did you take the crank to a machine shop and have it checked, and get the
size of the main and connecting journals? Did they have to turn the crank?
Also, it's possible that you got a bad con-rod bearing and it is pinching the
crank journal?
