'88 F-350 Diesel nat. aspirated, Manual Trans. Engine will turn 90 deg then stuck. I removed the injectors a couple of weeks ago and put Marvel Mystery oil in the cylinders, but the engine still will not turn past 90 degerees. Any suggestions?
Take the valve covers off and look for loose rockers (bent valve) or signs of a broken valve. It could be a glow plug broken off and hitting the piston also. Probably may as well just pull the heads and see whats up.
