i have had this car for about 2-3 years and have put maybe 2-3 gallons through it. i am planning on using it more often now. so tonight i went out and ran a tank through it in the 20 degree weather, tuned rich for the weather and was working flawlessly so when i was done i cleaned it and put after run oil in the jug through the glow plug hole. i then notice i put to much in and try and dump the access into the sink, then put the glow plug in and spin the engine over with my fingers via the bottom of the buggy, it felt like there was resistance but not like i could not move it it was kind of bouncy, i notice i can barely move it like it has extreme compression i use both of my thumbs and it spins over so i take it outside and spin it over with my roto start with the plug out upside down then go inside and put the plug in and spin it with the roto start and hear a loud metallic knock so i take the plug out and spin it upside down again and put it back and it still knocks i may have seen a metal shavings then i immediately stopped and came here. i will tear it apart and see if there is anything wrong help is greatly appreciated.
