As in you cannot turn the crank using a spanner? Or it turns freely but the starter motor won't spin?
Assuming you mean the former then check your bearing clearances, sounds like the shells might be nipping the crank.

Did you use standard shells or oversized and also did the shells go in dry or wet, as Karlos pointed out will it turn by hand at all

i think even with dry bearings it will spin and also torque settings won't make the problem. It's more likely that one of your measurements went quite wrong. Wrong bearings i would say
