Ok, long story short I rebuilt my s14 sr back in may and got it on the road and running in august. Took the car for a few spins and it was fine. Took around the block after bleeding the power steering and it started making a bad knocking sound. I tried to limp it home but it just got progressivley worse and then died. The car would not start again so I had to push it home. There were no fluids or external signs of engine or drive train damage. When I got it home I assumed it was the flywheel or clutch so I put the car on stands and started to pull the transmission. Due to school and work it sat for a few weeks and I pulled the transmission today. I went to rotate the motor from the crank and it would not turn. I pulled all the plugs and tried again and it still doesn't turn. This motor has less than 5 miles on the rebuild, I would hate to think I killed it this fast.
I'm to the point that if I can't get this car fixed I'm just going to have to part it out. I just don't have the time or money to pull the motor and fix this shit if it has to come to that. So any suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated.
