I was able to take the glow plug out and put after run oil in the engine they I took a screw driver and was able to get it to crank over by spinning the flywheel. I got it to were I can spin it with my finger but it is very hard compared to my other truck with the glow plugs out. do you think the engine is shot or do I have a chance? Do I have to buy new? can I rebuild it?

If i have to buy a new one will thise one work? http://www.dynamiterc.com/Products/D...rodID=DYNP5234
What would i have to do to make it fit?
That one seems like the biggerst c.c.s for the $
I would figure its seized, i would actually recommend a OS 18 TM
