Default major problem

hi. i have some big troubles with my st170. iv swapped the flywheel and clutch for a TTV solid flywheel with a standard fit 230mm clutch. fitted it all up and the starter was just clicking and battery earth lead started smoking. first assumed a bad earth but i fitted gearbox earth and run a jump lead as a temp earth but still same. long story short the engine is locked solid. it will not turn with a spanner on the crank or turning wheel in gear. iv removed starter in case this is jammed and its not that. the clutch is disengaging as when i push it in the wheel will turn while in gear but somehow the flywheel must be locked or jammed. just looking for ideas before box comes back off?

the flywheel bolts are shorter to accomodate solid flywheel but im worried they could be too long? is this possible. i checked and double checked that the stick out lenght of bolt was same as on dual mass so it would not go too far into crank. im lost for ideas

thanks
