And, that's it. I went out and checked it, and it will NOT turn over with my wrench and a 27mm socket. I've turned it by hand before just before re-installing the motor, and it rotated much easier, as I recall. Checked the oil, and it's VERY dirty, almost a dark greyish color, and smells of fuel. The oil only has about 700 miles on it, so it should not be that dirty. I really didn't want to believe it was another motor issue (this is engine #2). I've pulled two plugs (one on each bank) at random, and they seem fine, but I will need to drain the oil, and examine it, then pull the rest of the plugs (then try to manually turn it over again), and do compression test to be sure. Could be fuel lock...
