Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) all locked -up?

[GOTSOOT]

Any one help with a diagnosis-12-valve in truck with hood on (wrecked),engine turned over by hand fine three months ago. did not start because of lack of batteries. Now tried to turn over to install torque converter, and it won`t buge. removed inj. last nite and soaked the holes with marvel mystery oil, also removed oil pan , and everything looks good, no signs of water anywhere. could ther be enough rust in the cylinders to lock in down in that length of time? need some Quick help!

Just a thought. I would make sure the timing pin didnt get pushed in.

Could have stuck a ring I guess, but one would hope not. Maybe some sort of hydraulic fuel lock etc? Is the starter stuck or front end damage that has the fan stuck etc. .



Not sure where your turning the engine at ? Flywheel, barring tool, etc. .



Not the timing pin, you could easily shear the plastic tit off by barring the engine (even with a screwdriver on the ring gear of the flexplate).



Good luck
