Ok, So basically, I pulled a motor out of a Getz and went and bought a second handy (with a warranty). However, I have neglected it for a while and it's been sitting in the car unfinished for about 4-6 months now.
I just decided "Bugger it" I'll do it tonight and I began putting it back together, strangely enough putting the crank pulley back on, the crank locked up after about a 1/4-1/2 a turn.... Now, I was thinking it could be a number of things including a bolt has fallen into a cylinder, a stuck valve or even a rusted cylinder... however I don't want to be pulling the heads off to find out there's nothing wrong with the innards, so...... any ideas?
Additional: I had pulled the crank pulley off of the motor before I slipped the engine back into the engine bay and I'm certain that the crank could do a full rotation before. So I'm thinking "rust" or is that just wishful thinking with a small 1.5/1.6
