I purchased a 1991 Pontiac Grand Am SE with 133K mi. A very nice
little car. The engine will not turn over by using any means. I have
worked on the 2.5 Tech 4 and have extensive experience working on a 4.5
Cadillac engine (replaced heads & head gaskets), so needless to say I
have good mechanical experience. I am wondering what I can do with
this engine to see if I need a whole new engine or merely a head. I
have a 1991 Grand Am LE with 86K mi that has been sitting for quite
some time, but the engine will turn over. Any pointers on where to
start? Thanks -Brock

I assume that you have checked everything easy to get at?
That leaves engine internals. Perhaps the rods and crank are broken.
