Default Chasing my tail trying to get 1928 tudor running

I have a 1928 tudor that I'm about to just give away . Not! The car sat for 2 years after Dad passed away and little by little I have been restoring it , the engine is clean and everything was functional . I went to start it after timing it and it rotated a quarter turn . Turned out the battery was bad due to a shorted starter . Installed new battery new starter with only a thump and a bent bendex . Dad had put the small steel crank pulley on it omitting the crank handle ,I guess I need to reinstall it .
I removed the starter and shifted in 3rd rocking the car now the engine doesn't rotate ?
Any ideas why engine did this , my next step is to drop the pan and valve cover and inspect . Maybe shimmed too much but it ran before .It also rotated rocking car in 3rd to set timing ???
Please help
