13b GOt LOck
Why or How will a 13b lock itself? On saturday, my friends and I went out crusuing and the we park at a plaza. My 7 was running normal, after two hours of been parked i decided to started up. I went for it and then i hurt a weird noise and heard the starter behaving weird. I saw smoke coming from the starter and so we try to push starter and nothing. I check the engine and it will not turn either forward or backward. Does anyone knows why or what happen?

This also happened to a buddy of mine. It was running fine, shut it off to go in a minit mart; came out...Nothing....Locked. Towed it home, put a 19mm on front e-shaft bolt, wouldnt budge.
So later on that week, took the engine out. To find out that an apex seal fell out, i guess it was cracked, and just small enough to "fall" out of the groove, and locked the rotor.
Does your engine have high mileage?
This was my experience, hopefully you'll get lucky and it can be something else.

dump diesel in the spark plug holes and let it sit over night. next day get a breaker bar and slowly work the motor back and fourth until it frees up. works like a charm if its carbon locked. good luck

I have the starter and belts out. I will try the diesel part but I don't think it will work. I'm Think of opening it and Swaps the plates and housing for Brigdeport one that i already had.
