    to be excessive crankshaft end-float, usually as a result of very high
    mileage or incorrect manufacture.Activating the clutch pushed the crankshaft
    slightly in putting the pistons slightly out of alignment effectively
    siezing the engine.

    thats very interesting, but highly plausable, pretty easy to diagnose i
    would have thought too if you check the crankshaft pully for movement. can't
    say i've ever come across that before but all knowledge is good knowledge.
