If all the parts are in reasonable condition, it could be that the BB shell needs facing to ensure that the faces are parallel. If they're slightly off, a "tight spot" is created.
Thanks for the reply. I checked the races and they looked smooth to the touch. I'm wondering if I'm doing something stupid here, as the headset seems to be exhibiting the same type of issue when I move the fork left and right. These (bottom bracket caps and headset nuts) should be snugged down pretty tight, correct?
