scraping while cranking!

ok, heres the deal, yesterday, i cranked my motor over to warm the car up before going to work, it started up and then died! so i went to start it again, and the battery died. so i charged it up with the charger and that was gay, it died while cranking so i had to fiddle with the connection and such. eventualy i said **** it and threw the jumper cables on from the Durango and cranked it over. it cranked pretty fast! as in there was no compression!! but i couldnt futs with it cause i had to go to work. so today i went and tryed starting it (had the batterie charger on it sence 4 yesterday!) and it cranked fast again and i heard a scraping noise form the engine as it cranked! this time i didnt get anything out of it, yesterday i at least got a couple sputters here and there, but today nothing!!!

so, does this mean i blew a seal or something?? i take it the scraping would be the remainds of an apex seal, byt i guess i would like a second opinion!

well, i got it to turn over today!!!

i pulled the plugs cause on nopistons they told me to so i can listen for compression! and it was there, i got all three "chuggs" but what i noticed was that the plugs were dripping wet!!!!

so i pulled all 4 blew them out and let them dry, put them back in and vuala! she started!!!! but the tach wasnt working, so after i let it run for a minute or 2 i shut it off and tryed starting it again, but no go!! so i pulled the EGI fuese again and cranked it a few times, then put it back in and cranked it, got a sputter but didnt start.

i pulled the plugs again and they were dripping, again. so im drying them out again but this time jsut the prmarys(the top ones with the blue boots are the primarys right?? lol) and i will be giving it another go shortly!!
