**Help** 89 740GL-Engine Seizure - What to do?

posted by  someone claiming to be Chrissij on  Sun May 16 13:21 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Well,it doesn't sound good...but...see if you can turn the engine over by hand...just put a socket with a really long extension on the front crank pulley bolt...this will take the starter out of the mix, and any crank sensor or distributor rotor issues also out of the mix. I've had a broken arcing rotor make the engine make all kinds of racket with nothing firing when it should. Scared the hell out of me.
