You probably have a piece of carbon on top of a piston. Disconnect the oil pump chain and see if its the oil pump. I doubt it as there would be no reason for it to have a problem that would repeat at TDC.

I would then crank the motor with the starter a couple times (this is only if as you say you are able to move through this point by hand. Sometimes some x66 down the injector hole (leave the injectors out to crank it).

Because you have a 5 cylinder only #1 is up at TDC so I suspect that to be the culprit. After you crank it through a couple times with the starter try it again by hand before you put the injectors back in.
