so i have a big problem, my engine wont turn over. My car was fine, reved fine, drove fine, I was driving back from picking my brother up, and then when i reved it up it kinda stumbled alot at like 4k, so when i got home, i let it run and it was idling kinda off. I reved it up a bit and let it fall, then did it again, to 5.5k or so, and then let it fall. This time the car stalled, and now then engine is stuck. Any help?

 

Are you stating that the motor is locked up?

 

low oil?

 

oil level is fine, and was fine, the tempature never rose past normal. and yes the engine is locked up. Siezed if you will.

 

Sounds like apex seal came apart. Might want to take a 19mm socket and try manually turning over the engine at the eshaft bolt.

 

i tried that, wont budge.

 

Well, it looks like it has to come apart. The poor running that you stated is all the signs of it losing compression due to a failed engine component such as a apex or corner seal.

 

can it just go that suddenly? like it ran fine not 3 hours eariler. and i had just replaced my plugs and did a like hearing compression test and it sounded good.

 

Unfortuneatly, Yes it can. You can trying taking the plugs out and rocking the engine back and forth at the e-shaft nut and see if you can get it to turn. But even if it frees up whatever caused the lock-up in the 1st place has probably down extensive damage to the interior of the rotor housings. The only other thing you can do to try and free it up is tow it and put the trans in 3rd gear and see if it breaks loose.

 

Tossing an apex seal can happen at any time. When it's ready to go, it goes. Try turning the engine backwards with the socket, that may dislodge the seal piece that is binding it up. I would not run the engine though as it will cause more damage.

 

well thanks anyway.
