Just to update, the engine would not turn with the starter. I have removed the plugs (except one sticky one) and sprayed penetrating oil in the cylinders. I am going to remove the valve covers and coat the parts with oil tomorrow. In a few days I will try the starter again. We'll see, if I have to pull the motor then who knows where this will go.
