Fwd: 88 5KTQ Big problems

[jesper moreau]

Hmmm.... my car is currently off of the ground via jackstands with all
four wheels free to move. would you still consider that to be a
possibility? or could I have spun a bearing on the crank or connecting
rod

Sounds like the release bearing or the level that act to the bearing. 
Or a spring on the pressure plate broken.

Engine was not running following rebuild
My efforts over the last month and a half have been to get it started.
I solved a spark problem, figured out I had a fuel problem.... and
while doing a routine turnover to see if it would start the  sngine
acted like thew starter died, but after replacing it with a brand new
one, I find that it was not the starter at all, but yet all of a
sudden the crankshaft is difficult to turn over!
I am sad..... it sounds like something major may be wrong. anyone
agree or do I have any hope?
