Might try removing the starter. I have seen an incorrect starter installed (wasn't a Toy, but could happen there too) that totally locked the flywheel.

Once again thanks for the help.

Follow the lists made above and from there continue, i also agree witht he sludging problem as all toyota v6's had that problem when running regular oil.
It had to do with poor crankcase vent system.
I will upload some pictures of the difference between running synthetic and non-synthetic in these engines.

anything is better then regualr oil....
even preforming a engine flush will help
Its not a disaster but for some reason these v6's suffer from this problem vs any other toyota engine.
