Been working out of town this week but had 15 minutes to get under it with a screwdriver, ratchet, and pliers. Playing a hunch(or common sense) I tried to loosen the one cap that was easily available, wow, it was way too tight! I loosened two more caps and voila! The crank turns! I went ahead and rotated the engine over and pulled all the flexplate bolts too.

Next plan of attack is loosen all the rod caps and re-torque to spec then give it a whirl.
