As the process continues you will end up taking the timing chain cover off to see if the chain broke. You have have a busted gear or chain and a piston is up against a valve.
You could loosten all of the rockers to see if they will free up a piston. Once all of them are loose are removed, it should isolate the valve train from the equation.
If the engine turns after that, you can then remove the timing chain cover to reveal what went wrong.

Brady, Sorry to hear about your probs - It looks as if you have a coolant leak at the t/stat housing as well. I would have to agree with 75F350 - loosen of the rockers one cyl at a time and try to turn the engine over by hand. But i think that you'll find a few may be hanging up if the timing gear/chain has failed. Good luck!

Loud noises + motor dosen't turn + metal chunks in the pan = Get another engine. You may be able to save some of that one but it's going to cost. Like I said earlier I have a spare D1VE short block and some D3VE heads. But tear yours down first and see how bad it really is. It will be obvious what broke once the pan is off.
