I replaced the starter on my 95 S10 Blazer.Approx.1 mo. later the end came off the starter & lodged in the f lywheel.Chipped teeth on flywhl & locked car down.I got the piece out & replaced starter.Motorstill wouldn't turn over.Towed it home,tore it down.Can't find areason why it is locked down.But,the 2 center pistons don't want to move up & down.I have to force them.Its a 6 cyl.Vortex Chevy.I had previously thought that the crank shaft had broke,but it looks fine.Any ideas why the 2 pistons would give a problem?The blazer has excess of 150,000,but has been taken care of & it had oil in it.Thanks in advance..

If you've got the motor apart, it should be pretty obvious. Maybe the rings broke and jammed into the cyl wall? Crank bent? How do the bearing inserts look?
I've seen a stuck flywheel bend a crank in a Pontiac 350. Flexplate flew apart and jammed in the bellhousing. The piston that was firing at the time pushed down on the jammed crank and that was it.... Wierd things happen.
