Have you ran the engine or is this all by hand?

Remove and start again

Don't turn the engine over with the ignition.
Fingers crossed  ;)

Assuming you've only turned the engine by hand, and thus you haven't bent any valves the only reason I can think of that the cams won't turn is because they're hitting the pistons. ie - it's timed wrong.  :-\

i suspect you may have to re-time the engine from scratch. Iirc there's a piece in Haynes about this but I think you'll need a gauge to find TDC on cylinder 1.

As said I think the only reason it won't turn at all is piston-on-valve action :-\

Do you have a workshop manual that covers the 2.2? its not in the Omega Haynes one, because, well ..... Haynes

I have a frontera manual, which does cover the 2.2. Let me know if you want anything emailed.

Oil in the wells is an easy (ish) one to solve, new gasket and clean the breathers. Although probably the focus should initially be on getting it running  ;D

You laugh... I had a hell of a job trying to turn the crank first time I tried it on my own... turns out I had left the car in gear and couldn't turn the crank any further than the slop in the flywheel :-[

Point is, don't overlook the obvious ;)
