wtf... just went to get trailor......
just connected a trailor on back of commy vr II after spending 2k+ on replacement engine and 2 auto boxes... had done nearly 5000k since replacing motor and trans, just done a oil change. everything running fine until i connected a car transporter on and headed to collected car and not even 20k up road car didnt make any noises or lights on dash it just died.. then wouldn't start... nice guy towed car on trailor back to my place.. then i put battery on charge for 24hrs then refitted battery to car... and blow me backwards bloody engine wont turn over so out came my powerbar and sokect and i couldn't even turn by hand... what would have happened.. there was a light rattle when first started but disappers in under 2 secs.... am i looking a a complete rebuild of engine or is there sum obvisous problems ie timing chain or cam like mentioned in the ecotec seized forum....any help would be great as i have removed the heads and have poured oil into cylinders to soak down

You could, or you could just leave all that, and fix it up and just get it going. Its just a 6 if ya want it to go just whack a turbo on it.
