you probably didnt do this, but did you hook the terminals up the wrong way even for a second???

So it's been a while but i finally got around to doing something. I had a guy come 'round and have a look. Initially he said. "Yeah it's your starter motor." 10 minutes later after a replacement went in and a bit more playing around and testing... The engine has ceased. Me after he said that: "**** it." Now I put this to everyone out there. Is it worth putting another RB30 in there or should I find something a little different now that it has to be replaced anyway? Any input would be greatly appreciated like always. Thanks again to everyone who helped before.

How do you know its ceased? Have you tried taking all the sparks plugs out and turning the motor over by hand? Either way, a replacement RB30 isn't worth much. Hell, I've got three. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

could possibly be hydraulic locked, as said take all spark plugs out and see if it turns over.
