2h motor will not crank

beginners mistake

youve filled it with opil too quickly and its come up through the breather and into the inolet manifold filling the cylinders hydrolocking the donk
the good news is its unlikely your starter motor has had the power to damage cranks/rings etc

you need to pull out your glow plugs and turn it over (look out oil will go everywhere) then replace them and start as normal


---- how do i know this ummmmmm im not telling

At a guess I would say you have filled a cold motor with oil & because it is slow flowing down out of the rocker/tappet area it has passed through the (pvc??) hose into the inlet manifold. When you cranked it the oil was sucked into the combustion chamber.

Hopefully you have not bent a con-rod.

Remove the glow-plugs, crank it to get rid of the oil & see what happens from there.
Don't feel bad, you are not the first person to do that and won't be the last.

how much oil did you put into it?

Harlequin,
Have seen someone do this too. To minimise the mess lay a whole lot of newspaper underneath and a layer on top of the motor after you have removed the glow plugs. Shut the bonnet, cross fingers and crank. Preferably do not allow it start before it has had quite a few clearing strokes and oil is no longer coming out. Does a 60 have a shut off solenoid? Can't remember, if it does then fix it so the vehicle will not start.

Best of luck but as others have said I doubt the starter will have had enough oomph to do any lasting damage. You still have potential to do so if you let it start once it starts to clear the oil out.

cheers

I dont recall there being that much mess it takes surprisingly little to lock a motor
