I finally made my first attempt to turn the engine, here are the results, interested in your opinions/verdicts:
1) The engine rotates counterclockwise (standing from the front of the vehicle) very well. When I try to rotate it clockwise it will go for perhaps 1/8th of a turn then get stuck. I was told it should rotate CLOCKWISE from the front, so please let me know if that's right or wrong.
2) I heard a noise inside when I rotated the engine counterclockwise, almost like a loose nut tumbling around, I heard it twice, that's why I'm mentioning it.
So let me hear it, good or bad, so I know what to do next, and thanks in advance again for all replies, you guys have been great!

If it turns check the relay for the starter you can swap out and if it starts purchase a new relay. If it leaks more than a quart a week fix the leak.
Check the oil before trying to start.
