ok so good news, I just got over being sick for the past week and a half, and it was a nice day out at nearly 50*F.
so I went out and turned the crankshaft to see if anything was actually wrong with it.
low and behold, it turned without issue and wasn't actually pushed in, just that the outside is covered in 20 years worth of grease.
so I'm ordering the pulleys and serpentine belt, once I got them and a torque wrench I'm going to get everything put on correctly and start the engine, I'm confident that the internals are fine!
