Will it turn by hand if you grab the coutner weights?
Pull a main cap and look for wear on the bearings.
I used to care but....... things have changed

id say its tight. ive only done a few engines but they all turned nicely with just the crank in (lubed of course).

I'd R&R the crank/bearings clean the saddles & align the thrust bearing halves & oil the journals. If there's still a problem I'd have your machine shop mike everything otherwise there will be an early failure down the line.
