Bought a 5.7 vortec with 118k on it, spun the flywheel over when looking at it to make sure it wasn't seized. It spun over easy. Fast forward to install, under the truck I was using a screwdriver to turn over the flywheel to run the converter bolts in, and again it spun over just fine. Grabbed the jumper cables (this trucks been sitting) and jumped it off, I turned it over with the ignition and it spun 1/2 sec and then stopped. I can hear the starter clunking trying to spin over but nothing. Tried to turn it over by
hand (balancer and flywheel no luck) anything else I should check? Weather is terrible so haven’t checked bendix quite yet. It’s Just weird all this time I've been spinning it by hand with ease lining up the torque converter bolts
