Re: Seized? Ahhh...

He means turn the engine by hand. Use a 1/2" drive socket wrench or breaker bar on the crank pulley bolt. If the engine spins and you don't hear a nasty metal sound, it's probably something simple.

You can't crank an engine by hand unless you have an old Model T or old radial airplane engine.
