When you say that it doesnt turn, what kind of resistance do you feel? Is it a sudden mechanical stop or the feeling of turning against pressure?

If you havent done this already (cant remember now) then I would be tempted to remove the spark plugs the clutch plates and the oil filler cap. If it doesnt turn now with a spanner on the crank then there sounds to be something serious in the way.
Its a mechanical stop, like someone had just rammed a brick in the way. Clutch plates are out already.

Checked hydrolock already Druid, there is no oil in the engine now, side casings are off etc.
