Default Did I fry my 2.5 ?

The last time I used my T-Maxx 2.5, it started to bog out and died after about 20 mins of running (I think I was too lean). I could not get it to restart. I tried it again today. The EZ start cranks the engine over and over but it never starts. It doesn't even flood out when I apply the throttle while cranking, but it does flood if I cover exhaust tip with my finger.
Anyways, how can I find out for sure if I burned up the engine? I removed the engine and EZ start as a whole, and then removed the head, but I dont know what too look for as this is my first nitro. Any ideas on what to do ?
Thanks.

You know what I think? I think I'm an idiot. I totally over looked the glow plug.
Damn newbees.

I will hopefully pick up a plug tomorrow and let you know what happens. I'm glad I took my engine out for no reason at all.
Thanks for the help.

If that is not it and you just want to throw the engine away - Give it to me - I will take it.
