Sounds like it "dry-stuck"--In other words, when you rolled the engine over the cylinders were dry from having sat idle, and your cranking wasn"t fast enough to get enough oil pressure for proper lubrication. This, combined with maybe a too rich fuel mixture from being flooded, caused the pistons to sieze. Try taking the spark plugs out and pouring Liquid Wrench or WD40 {They both come in liquid form} into the cylinders. Then after it"s soaked for a couple of days, try to break it loose. Then hook on and pull it around until the oil pressure builds up. One word of cauion, before you try breaking the engine loose remove the valve cover and make sure there aren"t any stuck valves. This could save you a bent pushrod or broken tappet. There"s no way the clutch could be causing the problem.
