I can crank this motor backwards almost 360 degrees until it locks up then the starter will turn it over forward until this spot. I'm something locks it up - could it be hydro locked on 1 cylinder? I was pressed for time last night so I did not get any further.

The oil was over full on this car, and there is a film of coolant in the oil, so I am sure I need to replace the upper and lower intake gaskets - that is if it will run. Or I just need another engine. Or I just take off what I want and part it out, junk it etc. Tires are in great shape so I got what I needed, yet the idea of driving a 4th Grand Prix excites me...

Also is there a easy way to remove the spark plug wires? Is there a plug removal tool? As most everyone knows they are stuck on the plug really well. I just don't want to break a wire, smash my fingers, etc...
