got the starter out.hooked up some jumper cables as suggested.turned over fast,but a little weak,tried again,same thing,(bendix is kicking out fine)tried a 3rd,4th.5th,and 6th time and it just turned over veeeeery slow(about 20 reveloutions per minute!)bendix wouldn't even kick out!me thinks me on to something!! i bought this starter about 2 yrs ago(only has if anything 4oo miles on it!) and it made the selonoid whine/hum the first day i put it on(when i had the 3spd.man.setup).but never dragged,so i never gave it much thought.oh well,more to come,chuck.
if the motor is frozen, i find that putting a heater on it will warm it right up... hehehe.. i had to.. i am in a jocular mood today sorry if it was a bad joke... sorry to hear about the engine.. hope you get it done soon i would say plastigauage the main bearings.. see what kind of space you have.. it could be the wrong bearings as suggested. i havent read all the posts in this.. so im sorry if i am saying the same thing
