give us all a chance mate

 

you only posted yesterday

 

if the motor has sat for over 6 months it depends wether it was in a nice warm shed or a cold damp one

 

you wont turn in on wrenches anyway unless youve took the spark plugs out !!!

 

sounds to me like your pistons have siezed on the bores try sparying WD40 down each spark plug hole and leaving it to soak in for an hour then try cranking on the starter motor with no spark plug in other wise it might be a full strip down and rebuild

 

hope this help

If the block has seized up then it wouldn't be a good buy, as that seems to be your question :)
