Well in that case, yeah you have to tear the motor out and inspect it...The motor is definitely not gonna start with a Bent Rod or 2...Its "HydroLocked" hence it won't turn...

Chances are your starter is fine but you've bent or broken a rod and the starter isn't able to turn the motor over. Seen it before. The cylinders crystalize rust and freeze the pistons from moving and no amount of force can spin the motor over.

XconZ mine broke right at the large end of the rod. I still to this day have no idea why it broke. I have read theories about how it may be because the big-end bore was out-of-round. Maybe I will never know.
