engine locked up
ok so im new to this forum and am desperate to get my problem resolved. i have a 2002 camaro z28 which i love to death. my problem is that when i went to start it this morning it made a loud grinding noise similar to that of a t.v. with no cable running. anyway i talked to people and found out it was the starter. i bought a new one and my friend and i installed it . the problem now is that it seems something is caught in the flywheel bc when i went to turn the engine over it started, made a loud clanking noise and then stopped, as though the transmission got stuck on something. we even tried to turn the crank pulley to move the flywheel to a better spot for the starter gear to catch but there is not flatspot on the flywheel. im so frustrated bc my friend and i spent all day working on it and i felt like i wasted 200 dollers on a starter. so plz get back to me and let me kno what ya think. much appreciated!!

thnx for the quick reply. the crank pulley took a lot of effort to turn and even felt like it got stuck at times. the car was fine last night and i went to turn it on this morning when all this happened. it really sounds like something is loose in the block even. i just dont kno what and if it is id hate to think how expensive it would be to fix
