Engine Seized

[joesho24]

All right guys, best way to get back into the SHO game is to buy a sho with a seized motor! THe guy i bought it off from thought that the throw out bearing blew apart and locked up the flywheel, well the clutch engages and disengages. Im in the process of working on it now, i pulled the plugs and it wont even crank. SO im going to use a breaker bar and try to turn the crank. Any suggestions?? Could this be a crank cancer victim? He said it was running top notch no lack in power and it dies twice and restarted then it wouldnt even crank. DOnt know what to do next.

Remove the starter then see if you can move the crank clockwise.

I just put a new starter on it. I took the bolt for the harmonic balancer/pully off and the key is lined up w/ the hole so i dont know what to think. Im going to work on it somemore 2morow night

Can you turn the engine with a socket?
