Brian's right. If you had severe bearing damage you would have lower oil pressure. Regarding not starting, you said it only spun over a couple times then wouldn't spin at all? How about trying a junkyard starter to at least rule that out? Try smacking the solenoid with a large metal bar and see if that gets the starter to spin. Are you basically saying it seems as though the engine is locked up? Why not either put a wrench on the P/S pulley and try to spin the engine? Turn clockwise when facing the engine of course. You should disconnect the fuel line right before the in-line filter and place a can of diesel there and see if it will run that for fuel. We don't want to start getting mechanical and fuel problems tangled up.

Thanks
David
