Can we assume that removing the spark plug did not change anything ie: engine is still locked with the spark plug removed?

What make engine. How many HP.
I'm sure whatever's broken can be fixed, but I'd take the head off and see if you can find what is broken.

Five lines up you thought the upper main is where the lockup is.

Years ago, I had a rider mower become very hard to turn, I could barely move it with the pull rope, and the electric starter would not budge it. It had a smaller Briggs engine. I think it was a 12HP. Anyhow, I took off the top and found the generator assembly which (I cant remember if it was under or on top of the flywheel), but it had come apart and was wedged against either the crankshaft or the flywheel. It's been years, so I cant quite recall all the details, but once I removed that generator, the engine spun fine. So the problem was not inside the engine at all. Pull off the cover and check to make sure nothing is jammed on top or under the flywheel. It might not be indide the engine at all.
