Afe you thinking too long of plugs and ran into the pistons?

I would think possibly something got dropped down one of the spark plug or injector holes.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

As mentioned above, make sure the engine is free by turning it over by hand.
Take out the plugs if you have to to eliminate comression.

I just changed the plugs and wires.  I had to take apart the started solenoid to get to the 4 plug.  Wired it up wrong.  The noise were snapping and popping like the plugs were firing up... maybe a loud whistle noise it was late and I cant remember.
I probably fried my whole motor.  Also the 4 plug had oil on it, doesn't that mean other probs?  Thanks Scout for trying to come over

Put a socket and a long breaker bar on the harmonic balancer and give it some muscle.

This isn't sounding good, you might consider having it towed to a mechanic to get it straightened out.

If you want to turn it by hand: lay down under the front of the truck and remove the skid plate (if equipped), reach up and grab hold of the big round thing on the front of the motor and attempt to turn it.

tbh though the type of noises you are describing don't sound like you did this thing any good.

How did we get to a siezed engine, or something in a cylinder :dunno:? He said it started, ran, and test drove it, yes he did say it made some noise but they went away, so im assuming ran ok, then after shutting off and trying to restart he got the dreaded "click".....

:yeah:  Without being there when this all went down, it is very hard to diagnose.

No.  It ran fine and motor sounded good.  I turned it off and wont start again.

Good news. I am almost certain it is a bad starter.
Get offline and get on it.  :chuckle:

A slight correction would show that while yes it started, ran and even drove it made a bunch of noises it didn't previously make and after one drive won't start again. Without being there I can only advise starting with basics and keeping it simple. I am going to guess that it didn't run very well if it was making a bunch of new noises either...

Sorry, I thought you said earlier it made weird noises when you started it after changing the plugs.

Be carefull with this as a bench test the starter may spin but still be bad under load.
But its a place to start, heck just buy a replacment (get a good one, not the cheapest on the shelf  :twocents:) and throw parts at it.....
But first, check for keyed power to the starter....
