So my friend worked on his car and he didnt know what he was doing.

1992 240sx ka24de
leaky o ring in injector number 4
number 3 injector was stuck open

im going only by what he told me bc i wasnt there to see this happen

he changed his o ring on number four, fuel leaked into the cylinder when the injector was removed. he put a new injector in and cranked the car. car cranked strong the first two times, then the third time it started cranking slower. (im not sure how long he left the key "ON" so that the number three fuel injector had time to fill that cylinder)

now the engine cranks to approximately 1/3 of its ability while making a free spinning sound, like the starter is either not fully engaged.

then i checked to see if the clutch was stuck or if the starter went bad. swapped another in and it still hasnt changed.

my best guess is that he hydrolocked the motor or bent a valve. Reason being, the motor seems like it doesnt want to turn.

prior to this car ran fine.

any suggestions?
