Insalling #2 & #14 bolts..... I assume that the rods are not attached yet so the crank should still spin freely.
The 4 bolts that secure the bearing anchor plate have a self sealing substance on them and are a set length. I strongly suspect that you've simply installed a bolt there that is too long which would cause the end of the bolt to hit the crankshaft.
Loosen the bolt(s) somewhat to check that theory.
