I think the problem we are having with helping you is the fact that you keep saying the battery goes dead after 3 seconds of cranking. Is the battery really dead or is it that the engine is binding causing it to stop cranking???? If it is a elect problem you should be able to pull start it. BUT since it still binds when pulling you have some other problem. I do not feel like it is a cylinder full of fuel/water even though that is the first thing you would look at. The reason is if it was full of a fluid the engine would crank for 3 sec then stop. Next time you tried to crank it would do nothing because the piston would still be up against the fluid. I would still go through the steps to check this. Pull the valve cover and take out the injectors. Try cranking it over. Does it spin. If it stops after 3 sec......... Remove starter and try to turn the engine over with a large screwdriver wedged in the ring rear. Try turning it backwards. Will it move either way. Check to see if the valves are opening and closing. A stuck or sticky valve could be hitting the piston stopping it. Then over time the spring pulls it back in place so it will crank a short while again. Once we rule out the engine we can then start taking off stuff to see what will free it up.
