Seized? Ahhh...

I hope the motor is fine :D. How would I crank it by hand? Never tried that before, so I have no idea how to do it :(. The car is at my brother's place in Blaine and I live in Stp so I'll have to take a better look at it when I get the chance. Kinda sucks that my brother has no tools at all at his place. I could barely find a tool to take off the timing belt cover!

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.

I just talked to my dad and he says just find a new engine and throw it in, so I guess I'm gonna go find a 6bolt and just do that and hope the 6bolt isnt gonna fuck up on me anytime soon. But I'll try turning it over with a ratchet and see if its fine or not.

Why throw a new motor in when you dont even know whats wrong with the old one? Maybe your starter is shot and wont spin the motor? Sounds like something simpler than a seized motor.

Quit listening to your dad. Spark plug wires worn out? New engine. Needs an oil change, fuck it, throw a new engine in. Run out of gas, buy a new car that has gas in it.

Figure out your problem first, because that will take less time than finding and installing a new engine, and will almost certainly be cheap, plus you will learn a thing or two about how to actually fix cars.
