If thats the case pop the covers and remove the rockers and try again - look for any spun cam bearings while there. then injectors and try again. If it still binds remove the pan and try again while someone watches - see what hole is binding up. if you cannot pinpoint it start taking bearing caps off rods until it free's up - you can see if its a main binding easily.

finding hard spots in engines isnt rocket science. I personally think its probably a spun cam bearing or a starter/voltage issue.

i just got it home and tried barring it with the ratchet and a pipe and i could not get it to budge...

i will tear into the over head tomorrow and see what i can see...
