Q
how to tell if a car engine is seized
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
A seized car engine often signifies a significant problem, typically resulting from insufficient oil lubrication, which causes engine components to weld together. Signs include the inability to start the car, with the starter motor engaging but failing to turn the engine over. Another indicator is attempting to manually rotate the crankshaft using a wrench on the crank pulley; difficulty or inability to do this could signal seizure. Unusual noises, like a loud clunk or bang, when attempting to start the engine, might also precede seizing. If you suspect your engine is seized, it's crucial to consult a professional mechanic. Attempting to forcibly start or repair a seized engine without proper knowledge can lead to further damage. Recognizing these symptoms early and seeking expert advice can sometimes save the engine from irreparable damage.
