I removed all the belts from everthing since Im doing my Vac hose job. Just to check I decided to see if I can turn the motor over with my hand. I was surprised to see that I could very well do it. It took some force but not impossible. This mean anything or am I paranoid?

 

You should be able to turn it by hand, if not then its siezed. Not even sure if a rotary can sieze like a piston motor can, but in any case, your motor is all good!

 

Yes they can sieze

 

Aight just checking woosh *sigh of relief*

 

they sieze a bit more in the 2nd and 1st gens b/c carbon build up or should i say break off.

Most FD's engines don't live long enough (mines on 130k- crosses fingers)
