How did you determine something is locked up in the left front cylinder .. ??
Also, I reckon if you turned a spark plug for two turns and it hasn't started to back out, it has either stripped the threads in the block or it's twisted off ...... not good either way.
Clarification please.

So we would turn the harmonic balancer back a turn and then go clockwise and you can hear a ding/clunk where it locks up. We did that a few times and listened and were pretty sure it was coming from the left front. Then were going to pull the plug and use one of those wire camera's to take a look and ran into the plug issue.
My buddy who is helping me out was afraid we were going to strip the threads to the point of no return. So we stopped and are going pull the head to see how bad it is. At this point I'm assuming the worst and started pricing motors. But since whatever locked it up happened at idle I'm hoping its something not so expensive. It will be a few weeks before I'm able to get the head off, but I'll update the forum when I find out what happened.
Thanks for your help guys.
