So it is your engine, eh? (Responded to your earlier post).

Sounds like something might be broken somewhere. Maybe a broke/bent valve preventing one piston from reaching top dead center? Does it make any sound while you turn it or when it stops? Metal on metal clank or anything?

Never had this happen to me, so not exactly sure what it could all be...

Sounds like there's something that's keeping it from rotating. It's always around the same spot right?
