Frozen rebuild?????????

i got me rebuild back in the car . and after a load of other bad stuff got it started. first time it ran for about a minute and died. then a injector o-ring broke . I fixed it and fired it up again. ran for about 2 minutes and died. now the starter can barely turn the engine at all. i can barely turn it with a 2 ft bar. i think it might be done. i knew i should have went with a j-spec.. sorry venting . pissed andi dont know what direction to go to

pull the oil filter and see if there was any oil that went through it.

you can try putting a funnel in the oil filter pedestal to get oil down into the motor but whether it will free things up i dunno, if it is what i'm thinking it is then the damage is already done...


i would start by funneling oil down from the filter location and try to see if it frees up then check for oil pressure at the front oil cooler line from the front cover or at the filter pedestal, it's always a good idea to crank the engine without the EGI fuses in it to check oil pressure before firing up the engine.

good luck.
