This occurs more often than not when assembling case halves. I have done 50 of them and still it's half and half.
Typically I'll leave the garage frustrated multiple times. Have faith, she'll go.
I always go through the IPC multiple times verifying EVERY peice is in the correct location. One clip can do exactly what you're describing. Typically after a few trys, she'll go together.
On a particularly difficult crank i was experiencing binding in the last little bit of torque to the bolts. I went in circles 10 times. In the effort I damaged the threads on both ends of the crank. Ended up replacing the crank and new bearings. Everything went together smooth with the new equipment, I must have tweaked the crank on removal.
Keep at it, careful not to damage anything in frustration, and patience. We've all done what you're doing right now. -BIG DAN

It should spin free when installed correctly. Something is binding you up. Perhaps twisting.
