If your engine wont turn over like its jammed inside or it has no compression then it almost deffeinitly sounds like your conection rod has broken

A friend of mine experienced the EXACT same thing as you. We opened his engine and found the crank shaft ripped apart. The piston and sleeve was all scratched from metal pieces from the crank. In another word: garbage.

I really hope youre not that unlucky!

Edit: Feck, I just read that your engine was NOT jammed, and I cant delete the post. Sorry :)

Dkd he just said that the engine still ahd compression and to know that the flywheel would be able to move so he can see if there is any compression or not.
