Starter / electrical ?
Just did heads & Cam. Wanted to spin the engine a few times to build some oil pressure before pulling the trigger and starting it.
Valve cover / coil packs are still off; injectors unplugged, and the spark plugs are out. It will make about 1 revolution (Crankshaft) and then acts like the battery is dead. Battery is old but checks good; I am in the process of replacing it anyway.
Is there something in the electrical system that prevents the engine from turning over with everything disconnected? Oh; and the Piston to Valve clearance is OK.
Thanks

Update: Replaced teh battery, but it is still spinning very slowly 
Checked the starter wiring and the grounds and they are all good, clean and tight. If I put the plugs in and let it build compression; I doubt it will turn over at all.
HELP PLEASE
