So I will now proceed to strip it down until I know what the problem is.
First thing will be to pull the rear bank of plugs and have a look into those cylinders.
If all appears good then remove the intake system and see if anything is obvious, then I will drop the sump and see if I can see anything in the bottom end......
Who knows.......
Frustrating thing is that it drove into the driveway will no issue and the next morning it was stuffed.
The thing only cost me $500 so it will be hard to justify throwing loads of cash at it now.
It was supposed to be a cheap runabout, not a long term project.
Don't ever let me be involved in buying a car for you...... anyone......

Try cranking when you have rear plugs out
Check for the cost of a second hand motor before you spend to much repairing
What voltage do you have when you crank should have at least 9.5 to 10.5 v
Is it possible that cam chain has jumped or broken jamming crank or valves on pistons
