04.5 LLY 0 rpm when cranking

Hi all, I’ve got an 04.5 Sierra 2500hd I just put a replacement junkyard motor in after it cracked two pistons. Got everything back together, primed the fuel system and whatnot, and now it just cranks but won’t turn over start… it sputtered up once but then died almost immediately. No notable codes but my live data is showing 0rpm when cranking. TIA

60+ dead batteries

I have around 60-300 dead car batteries, I've been informed that the only proper disposal method is to put them into the ocean, unfortunately I'm very far away from the ocean.

Would my neighbors salt water pool work?

Got sent this instead of an oil pan.

Can anyone help me identify what vehicle this would go to?

Waste oil color?

Why is this used oil turning purple?

My car and a few others we had did oil changes it was dark brown.

(Kia Picanto 1.2L 2019 5W30 synthetic driven 2737 / 1 year on this oil)
