Most likely problem

After some intake work and a couple of starts - my truck shut down (2002, 4.6l) I can turn the engine by hand 10-20 degrees, either way, then it stops. plugs are out.
Any suggestions? When it stopped - no loud noises, no steam, no smoke.

Drain the oil, remove oil pan and look up into engine to see if anything is visibly broken (?)

Motor work sucks!
Sounds like something broke
I would marry a stethoscope for a few days and get a good assistant
Have your assistant marry a stethoscope too, and you can switch off turning the crank and listening
Don't switch stethoscopes, each of you get your own
