In any case, Terry, there are only 3 things that will stick a motor like that. Mains, Rods, and pistons.

Pistons, if not enough clearance, or dry, lack of oil.

Mains, and rods, lack of clearance, or dry, lack of oil.

What has happened, so far, I would tear it down, and check those things. When an engine starts, and pulls down, and stops, it needs checked.

If you try to get it to turn over, and not check, you will wish, you had.

No engine should be set up tight, that you have it stuck, or difficult to turn over.
