Jimmy,
I don't know if it's true with your 3000 or not, but most engines have pistons that must face a certain way in the cylinder. Usually, there's a notch on the top of the piston that is supposed to by aligned toward the front of the engine. If you install the pistons backwards, I know that they will bind the engine so it won't turn over. I'm not sure of the geometry of the whole thing, but I believe it to be true.
Good luck,
Tom in TN
