I did a motor swap, and in washing the motor, it seized, when i try to start it, the starter clicks and tries to turn the motor but it wont.

I tried putting in ATF and let it sit but nothing , still wont start.

also tried pushstarting it, but the wheels just locked up, and nothing happend.

any suggestions ?

does it turn over by hand? what do you mean 'washing the motor'?

i would try turning it over by hand..... and i agree with 87 t-66 ....washing your motor??..... my best guess is that he was cleaning the outside of the motor and some water got inside the housings .....

Try some marvel mystery oil in there.

cleaning the outside... while the intake manifold was off... i had shop towels shoved in to keep water out... but i dont know..

the motor currently does not turn by hand

I called a friend to bring his to truck cause a friend suggested to try and let the clutch out while the car is being pulled going 50 to see if that works, but hes like: um. its just gonna take a lot of life away from the engine.

so instead, I went and bought kersoene (stove oil) and i'm gonna dump the oil thats in the car, and then put the kerosene in, let it sit for a couple of days, and then take the starter out and try to turn the engine using the flat head on the end of the wheel bolt remover whats it called? :p

what do u think?
or should i use the marvel mystery oil instead?

I went out and bought some mystery oil.
I'm thinking I should dump my engine oil, fill up the kerosene, and put the marvel mystery oil in through the sparkplug holes... and let it sit for a day or so...


any suggestions?
yes? no?

well i have never heard of putting kerosene in before... too me it sounds like a bad idea but i guess i could be wrong..... id do some more searching before you do that

sure nothing fell into the LIM? I had mine sieze due to oil starvation. So you basically hydrolocked you engine... good luck bro. Might end up being a rebuild rather then a swap.

are you sure this motor wasn't seized up when you put it in?
I can't imagine you hydrolocked a rotary.

Try rotating the engine backward by hand. Use a 19mm on the eshaft bolt.

anasopia

the engine will rotate backwards even with hand now. but not forward unless i force it with something.

so we can deduce that it is something that happens why the engine rotates in the clockwise direction and not the opposite....what happens in this case? hrmm i cant think of anything
