will not start after changing oil pan very low clearance

So will the engine turn over freely with the starter?

yes the engine starter turns but willnot crank over

WHAT HE MEANS IS:

WILL THE ENGINE'S CRANKSHAFT DO REVOLUTIONS WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY TO START?

.....DOES IT NOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL?

OR DOES IT DO REVOLUTIONS, BUT JUST WON'T "BUST OFF" AND RUN?

I THINK THE "OVERALL" QUESTION IS.....IS THIS PUPPY LOCKED UP FROM LACK OF OIL? THE WORST DAMAGE MAYBE WAS DONE PRIOR TO THE NEW PAN.

ALL YOURS SATURNTECH9

THE MEDIC

will turn revolutions wont bust off and run. allmost acts like low battery but battery is new

So it sounds like its turning over slower then usual or faster then usual?

slower its like the battery dosent have the power to turn the crankover fast enought.

So was the engine ran without oil when the oil pan was struck?

she told me about 5 miles she smelt oil and pulled over from the place it happed to were she stopped is 5to6 miles tops the next day when i worked on thecar there was no smell of burnt oil.she new when it happen soo she was aware she pulled off rd and called methe hole was about 1" long 1/4" wide.

I would remove the spark plugs and see if the engine turns over freely while you turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise.

ok ill try that, so if it dose turn freely then what and if it doesnt what would i expect to need to do ?

The hard to turn by hand would explain the slower then usual engine cranking while trying to start it.

thank you for your help.

Your welcome keep me posted.
