Lister A advice

I am now starting to put my engine together and am stuck already. I have a new paper gasket set but I am unsure if is right.
When I tighten the main bearing housing the crank shaft is very hard to turn, loosen housing of and I can move crank shaft easy.
I believe I just need to make a thicker gasket, are my thoughts correct or am I over looking something/
Cheers

You need a thicker gasket.
