Did you try turning the engine over with the spark plugs out?

Were you able to turn the cam 360°?

The drive plate can crack from fatigue, stress, or shock.
How/where was it broken? What is the story on the car?

These engines are easy to turn over. You should be able to put a 19mm wrench on the crank bolt and turn it over with the plugs in.
