If there is antifreeze in the combustion chambers it makes it impossible to turn it over. Thats how mine was when it blew the headgasket.

If there was antifreeze in the oil, it was running without lubrication and since it won't spin it sounds like you seized the engine.

If it is indeed hydro-locked, remove the spark plugs to see if you can turn it over.

Sounds like you are going to have to pull the heads to replace the gasket.

how about the cylinder walls? head gasket look damaged?

cause and effect are very important, what caused what to break and what was the effect

did the head gasket fail causing the motor to overheat and melt a piston, or did the piston break busting a water jacket somewhere
