engine will not rotate

Wow. What did you do to this engine? Did you drive it and now it won't rotate? Rev the shit out of it with no oil in it racing a Honda?

You definately have catastrophic engine damage on your hands. These are not interferance motors, so you can rule out valves causing this problem. If you can only rotate the motor so far one way and another, then you probably threw a connecting rod. Go look in your haynes manual to see what that is.

A little background on how this car was running before would help. Did it ever run? Or did you get the car like this?
