re: "...I can not turn the engine any further. It just won't budge. I can turn backwards...."

If I understand your description correctly, you've got the timing belt off, trying to rotate the crankshaft, and you're describing what sounds like a really solid and abrupt obstruction to rotating the crank beyond a certain point.

Because this is an interference engine, is it possible that one of your camshafts are rotated so that a piston is bumping up against a protruding (open) valve?
