Crankshaft will not turn

Hey Gents,

The rookie is here again. I have a 2003 Ford Expedition witha 4.6. I have been doing a rebuild on it. I had the engine put back together and dropped it in the truck. After trying to bolt the flex plate and torque converter together got to the third nut and the engine will not spin. To get the fourth one. So I thought I screwed up the timing. I have taken it all apart again with. The engine still installed still not able to turn the crank. I am at a loss as what I have done or what to do next. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks all,
Jim
