From experience when an engine first moves, then completly locks up, it's one of 4 things:<br>1. Its rusted to hell and back, in that case, take the head of and gently persuade the pistons with a wirewheel, a Hammer and a Block of wood.<br>2. You are the genius that locked an engine into the point 0, it's a mess to make a turn happen again, dunno about the english term but in german it's called the "Nullpunkt".<br>3. The engine compresses water, but that<br>Doesn't really lock it, it feels springy.<br>4. It overheated at one point and the pistonrings are now married to the block till death take them apart...<br>Hope i wrote something useful for the make it happener out there, over and out.

I always undo the alternator belts unless they are needed for other functions, as alternators have a tendency to get stuck due to their ventilation holes.
