So, after having my trans/diff rebuilt at Shep the shop that has my car reinstalled the motor and trans. Went to start and all it does is click, swapped a well known good battery and had the same result.
Put a wrench on the crank and the motor wouldn't budge, the wheels (while up on lift) turn freely. You can shift through each gear without issue.
The shop pulled the motor back out and put a wrench on the crank and it STILL won't budge. The car has only sat for 3 months with a recent oil change (just prior to diff grenading). They took the starter completly off, same result.
The motor is completely stock and was never pulled apart. What are the chances of a motor "seizing up" from just sitting there? Any other thoughts? Suggestions? The motor has 25K miles...
