Project rustbucket continues. I was able to spin the engine with a breaker bar when I purchased the jeep. It turned easily and didnt make any unusual sounds. Fast forward to about a month ago. I removed the engine from the XJ to do some rust repair and other things. The engine has been sitting on blocks in the garage since then. I need to replace the rear freeze plug but the torque convertor and flywheel are still attached. No prob, I'll take them off. Or not. I removed one bolt from the TC and tried to spin the engine to access the other bolts and it won't move. FYI, The engine is partially disassembled, head, plugs, manifolds, etc. are gone. I put the breaker bar on the HB bolt and no go. It won't move in either direction. Am I missing something here?
