I had just gotten done rebuilding my snout and the bearings went in fine and rolled over smoothly but when I put on the new viton seal It seems that It is cause restriction on the shaft. Is this suppose to be like this or not? Thanks

Yes, this is normal. As long as the inner and outer bearings are FULLY seated, then the seal and the seal retainer gets installed correctly, it can feel a little restrictive till the seal gets "run in".
On new seals/rebuilds, I will add a little bit of clean oil to the I.D. of the snout seal before I install it. That way the seal does not get burnt from friction when its first being used/ran in.
