I was going to ask how you bolted them together when only 2 bolts are accessible at any given time, and that requires both starter and oil filter removed.

That aside, I'm thinking you've got a crank counterweight lodged against something in the pan. Since the dipstick won't go in either, that tells me something in the 1/2 throw.

You'll need to pull the engine back out and drop the pan again. Did you have the timing cover off by chance?

 

Ok cool so it might be ok? I didn't want to mess anything up so I tried to keep it assembled as much as I could the timing cover stayed on

 

I too, suspect something is jammed in the oil pan area,...... But still, as you pull the engine, I would, at each step attempt to turn it. Its a long shop, but it may save you from pulling it completely out.

 

Alright I'll let you all know what I find

 

So, motor is fine, now the torque converter barley wants to spin. What did I do wrong?

 

does the torque converter move in and out from teh flex plate or is it pinched against the motor

 

I took the motor out completely it won't slide in or out side to side anywhere. It's like it got locked up

 

Wonder if it got jammed up on the pump lugs.....

 

Yep I think it did. Can you turn a 4wd trans to a 2wd.

 

Change the overdrive housing over.
