So i turned the motor over tonight by hand, and everything was free moving, so i then i hooked up the starter and spun the engine over that way, everything sounded like it was spinning properly, i didn't hear any binding, pulled the inspection cover and checked that the belts were all turning properly, so that makes me feel pretty good that the engine is not siezed.
tried to pull the 3 screws off the timing chain cover, but the one (looking at the engine) on the right is a little bit stripped and i couldn't get enough pressure on it, does anyone know if i can slot it and just replace the screw with a 6pt bolt instead?
