I just love reading the advice on this message board.

"remove the spark plug, give it couple of kicks.. then put finger over hole and see if there is any compression."
"yours may be another problem, with the engine refusing to turn over though?" Hmm, how does that work?.

Typical Enfield owners problem - pissed 'n' broke.

Thanks everyone.

It wouldn't free rocking it in gear. Moves about 6" each way. It did move a bit when I rocked quite hard but didn't think it was a particularly good idea to keep doing so. It rolls with the clutch in still.

Worried this is gonna cost a fortune

Sounds like you will have to take the outer primary case off to investigate. The piston maybe not going up or down because there is a lump of sprag clutch stuck between primary chain and engine pulley, thus stopping the crank from turning.
