Don't plan on re-assembling the head until you know why there's resistance turning it as you're saying as (to me), that doesn't seem normal. I'm hesitant to tell you where to go at this point as I don't want to be the guy who might take you on a "wild goose chase" but IF the problem is a bent connecting rod (or two) and that'd be IF it hydrolocked (and still can't imagine how from your story here however), you'll need the head off as you'll then need to remove pistons (pan removed too).
As you can imagine, all this means alot more work, time, etc just to TRY diagnosing a noise with a non-running engine.
