Bad starter. Replace and you'll be fine.

Well I found out the problem. The engine I bought from this idiot is the problem. I can't even turn the crank pulley by hand or with a crescent wrench. So my starter keeps clicking because it can't even turn the crank. Has anybody had this problem or any ideas to fix it? Im pretty damn sure I have to pull it out and rip it apart to see what the problem is, but any ideas or experiences will help.

take out all of the spark plugs and see if you can turn it over. cyls might be filled with water or other liquid.

I think the problem is with the transmission. Even in Neutral I cant turn the driveshaft. Something is getting hung up in there preventing it from moving. Could it be a misaligned clutch? And I am having trouble bleeding the clutch. I removed the clutch damper and turned the line into the soft one that goes to the slave and I loosen the bleeder and pump the clutch but no fluid leaves the master cylinder.

Well I can push the car so I guess the engine/Transmission isnt locked up. I had trouble bleeding the clutch, I kept pumping and nothing. With a little trial and error I figured out it was a bad master. Replaced that and the clutch is bled now. I also figured out the electrical problem, but my starter is still just clicking. I dont have the belts on or the spark plugs in. What could it be?
