cranks should turn maybe 1-2 rev max really on fresh external BB bearings. they take a while to move the grease about until they spin really free. But under load doesn't make much difference really.
Theres almost always a lot of faff when changing between different ext BB systems, guess you have already fiddled until it worked ;)
