Q
how to know if your engine is seized
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
An engine seizes when it stops running due to internal components locking up, often from severe overheating or lack of oil. Indicators include an inability to start the car, with the starter failing to turn the engine over, often accompanied by a loud clunking or grinding noise. If you suspect a seized engine, attempt to manually rotate the crankshaft with a wrench on the crank pulley. If it doesn't move, your engine is likely seized. This condition typically requires significant repairs or a complete engine replacement. To avoid a seized engine, maintain regular oil changes and monitor your vehicle's temperature gauge to ensure it doesn't overheat.
