Not normal, IMO.  Did you check the end gap of the new rings in the very
bottom of the cylinders?  Double-check the bearing clearances with
Plastigage?  Something not right.

Many years ago, I built a non-LBC engine that acted similarly.  I also
thought it would loosen up in time.  The next day, it threw a rod through
the side of the engine block.
