Simple. Pull the,pan. Oops, not so simple anymore.
But, still, seems like pulling the motor and we'll "tell you what the problem is" seems a little over the top. But, then, we aren't talking to the mechanic, either.
I still hope it's something simple...bound starter, maybe.

Hox, my first thot was to agree. Pull the valve covers and look at the valve train.

posted a long time ago, much more diagnosis could have been done............ rotating crank by hand with accessories disconnected..... numerous things.......... especially when rosey mentioned the burning wiring smell............ possible the oil pump may have caused damage, but noise and lights would have come on well before it seized................Ruxxy, coming out the bottom with the engine is sometimes not as bad as it sounds................ he could have left it intact and removed pan for inspection too by raising it off mounts............. just sayin'.......
