hi guys just wondering if the starter motor is engaged onto the fly wheel would this make the crank impossible to turn by hand as my bottom pully seems to be stuck solid and i cannot turn the crank either way p.s the timing belt is not fitted so cam timing should not be an issue am i correct

 

If the head and cams are still on the pistons are probably jammed against the valves

the problem im having is that the pistons are at tdc so surely the next stroke would drop them away from the valves,or can the really jam enough to stop complete movement sorry if i sound a little daft i prob am cheers

 

I would take the head off to avoid any more damage, I see your reasoning on TDC but the head will need to come off anyway.

yes as i thought never mind eh thanks for the swift reply
