DOHC stuck, cannot turn by hand after torque

Hi All,.

Im new here, ive recently got myself in a pickle. My 2.2L P4AT ranger engine got new head, now when I torque the cam holder/top frame, the cam are really hard to turn. I have to use a wrench to be able to turn it. Ive had my cams checked and they are straight. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Cam guides in propper places? If they got mixed up, could be the issue. Also, did you get the correct cam bushings? To thick and that will cause it.
