    Blown 2.0 engine? Help

    Thanks A lot you guys! Still no progress though. I felt no binding up while turning the engine. I think the hard easy deal is just when i get to Top dead center. If i turn it fast it goes pretty smooth, just when i turn it really slow is when it gets hard then easy. I have gas to the...

I am going to try starting it that way but my battery has started to...
