If you remove the plugs to eliminate compression, the engine should turn over easily by hand with a socket/rachet. If you still need to use your foot, then the engine is probably shot internally. May need crank bearings/crank and so on.

I took the Plugs Out before I Tried to Turned the Crank Bolt -alos I Shook the old Starter and Heard Ratteling so I tried A new starter and Heard Fast Clicking but no Turn over ,The parts store said I have to Re-aline the Teeth -{top Heavy Mount} so the New Starter can catch ?- Is this True -
