hey guys,

ran into a little problem this evening, the crank seems to be `stuck`and wont turn either by hand or starter.

I can turn it over with a .5`` wrench about half a turn backwards and forward but will absolutely not free lose beyond those limits.

car was running and idling perfectly (before i put the belts on for water-pump, power steering, alternator.´I disconnected everything thinking one of the 3 was damaged and not allowing it to turn over but it is definitely in the engine not allowing it to turn over.

what are symptoms of a stuck crank

That sounds to me like your timing belt jumped. You may be turning your pistons against some open valves, causing it to lock up. I hope I'm wrong. frown
