Dave, it looks like you are correct. Just popped a screwdriver down the plug holes and watched the piston positions relative to the limited movement of the crank. The rotation stops as soon as each pair of cylinder approach the top of the bores.

Not sure if water has got in. There is some in the inlet manifold. What puzzles me is that I got the engine to turn through about two full revolutions before it then hit something solid. I am thinking stuck valves or broken rings. Once I had the plugs out I put penetrating oil in all bores, Numbers 2,3&4 still have the oil visible on the piston crown, number has no oil visible so the oil has got passed the rings. May be a broken ring causing the sudden stop.

<p>the tappets are bucket and shim on the later engines ....hydraulic on the earlier ones both are prone to seizing.....a cylinder head strip may be in order. </p>

<p>Drain it of oil, if there is water present in the sump then drop the sump, flip it over and look inside. Sump gasket is less of an arse to do if the engine is out already. Don't try to turn it </p>
