Okay, heres the update. The crankshaft does not turn. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> The cams turn just fine. I'm tring to decide what, if anything, can be done at this point. I am trying also to decide if I want to bother finding a new 3.5 motor, trying to do a diesel conversion (with a different mechanic friend this time), or just plain selling it as is. Suggestions are more than welcome!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I've been anal about the maintenance which is what makes me so sick about this whole thing. I guess the preventative maint. worked...we prevented the motor from running. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />
