Thats strange...wonder what that means...loss of compression somewhere I bet, or loose timing chain. On my vette, I have to remove the plugs, get a heck of a breaker bar, and really get after it to rotate the crank.

Do a squeeze check on all 8 cylinders for starters.

edit, I fail...meant all 6 of 'em.

LOL its ok you got to talking about the vette and got side tracked on its 8 cylinders I understand. What do you mean by squeeze check? How would I go about doing that? Yeah i know i didnt even have to remove the plugs to turn mine so im kindda wondering whats going on with that also.

But yes thats what led me to believe its getting no compression and is out of time also couldnt get a compression read on cylinder 1 when turning the crank. Was using a screwdriver just to see if i could feel the compression there was none

squeeze check=compression check.

Turning the crank that easy makes me think theres a loss of compression too. If you don't have a compression gauge, you can rent one from autozone...should be easy to check with the crank turnin' that easy.

Already sounds bad by what you've said of number 1. 95s had headgasket issues...the problems would seem to connect.
