I just picked up a 2001 ss camaro i got a really good deal on this car the guy told me tye motor is locked up it is missing all accessories, intake , throttle body and has been sitting this way so I know the motor has been opened I'm not sure where to start on this. Should I go head and pull the motor and tear it down and see what needs tobe replaced or what should I do? I have not had a chance to mess with it at all I having even tried to turn the motor over.
Thanks dustyn again I got this car really cheap

sounds like the cam isn't degree'd in right. make sure your at tdc on a compression stroke.

Okay. Would the cam randomly jump timing ? Or would the previous owner had to of done it?

I really don't think the guy did a cam swap the crank pulley is still on the motor it looms more lime he was parting the car out.
thanks

Take all the spark plugs out and see if you can turn motor over by hand.
