Well, yup. She's gone.
Refer to thread: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hlight=christi for more information.
Well. We took the starter out tonight - came out just fine. Did everything else, try to manually pull it (even after leaving the ATF in there for 6 days. Well........ Time to save money for a new engine.
We're in the process of looking around, but I think my dad is just going to go with a OEM motor, and when I move out, then it's my choice on what to do....
If we don't do the OEM, we're thinking about rebuilding it ourselves. We've got a few knowledgable folks out here that have rebuilt their own motors (IE: Pcola FD).
Just wanted to give you guys an update.

Wow i feel really bad for you. I mean it!! I mean i crash my everyday car,i didn't have MY own car for a while it was a real pain. So how did you find out that your engine was gone?? I know is stupid but was the motor seized even after the starter was taken out??

No such luck turning it with a 19mm on the front pulley? Sometimes you can turn it backwards about 1/8th a turn, and then try turning forward to see if maybe you can dislodge a stuck peice of carbon/etc. Sucks though Definatly rebuild it, it's much more fun that way.

Before you do anything, get some type of car to push you backwards and dump the clutch (while the shifter is in "R" of course) Or get going about 30mph from a push forward and put it in 2nd and dump the clutch. Although there may be a recommended way of doing this, i'm really not sure, but just an idea.

Tried to turn it manually again - no go. It wouldn't even budge.

I do have a question though. If I ended up getting this engine rebuilt: Can it be disassembled? Or does most places who rebuild our engines like it to be completely assembled?
I might be getting my brother's vert, perm. I'll still be keeping my car, and still rebuilding the engine!

Rebuild it yourself. It's not hard and when you're done and that baby fires up for the first time you will have an overwhelming sense of accomplishment!
