If your not going to remove the Engine, you should at least remove the chain cases to make sure there are no issues with the chain, guides and tensioners, a problem here could be related to why the engine will not turn!
Just a thought, also; if the engine has never had any oil in it, there could be several surface parts where rust has accumulated, i.e.; cam bearings, crank, intermediate shafts etc, again; all potentials why it wont turn.
Hope this helps.
