I was driving, it was not doing anything funny. It was running great. It just stopped running on the highway, and I coasted to the sholder. When I went to start it back, it would not turn over. I can't turn it by hand neither.What should I do?
Could it be the timing chain? It started for a minute and ran very badly like it was out of time or something. After that it was done and I can't even turn the engine with a socket and breaker bar. I don't know a lot about it. Can you please help me. thank's

It sounds like the engine has locked up and needs a rebuild. It is hard to say what caused the failure until it isi dis-assembled.
