I bought my vehicle listed above from Facebook Marketplace, previous owners told me the head was cracked, drove it from 40+ minutes away to my house, it overheated, turned off on me. Turns over but no crank, battery is brand new, belt fan spins.

Thanks for the video. The engine is no good in this vehicle, there is no compression, so the timing chain is off, or the engine has been overheated so badly the cylinders are scored. Sorry about that. Here is how to change the engine out for a rebuilt or used unit. Check out the images (below). Please let us know how it goes.
