Re: Motor Locked Up???
I bought the car last month and it was originally leaking from the oil pan gasket which i changed and it was fine. Then i noticed it leaking again but never had the time to check it out.. which obviously cost me big time. I hope its the tranny but i've never heard of a tranny blowin and seizing up the motor.

engines dont work when you have an oil leak and dont keep oil in it.......turn the crank with a 1/2 inch drive, put the socket on the crank pulley and turn, if nothin......go buy another short block if the head is ok

It was leakin from the back of the motor somewhere.. couldn't tell def. should've gotten around to it sooner.. cuz i could smell it hitting the exhaust while driving. Popped the hood.. no oil or holes ANYWHERE.. tries to start then stops like battery is dead but its def. not.

Re: Motor Locked Up???
Ok i was leaving my girls house kinda pissed off took off in 1st... then shifted thru 2nd and 3rd and went to put it in 4th at about 6k RPMS n it was a pretty loud noise and started smoking and cut off.. thought it was the timing belt but thats fine.. checked the oil n its dry as fuck.. motor was leaking rediculous so i'm guessing its locked up but never had one do that. Can't start it or pop the clutch so my guess is its locked up. My question is is there any way to free it back up and whats usually the damage on a locked up motor...
-96' DC JDM B20B swap.
Thanks.
Edit: im not even sure its locked up.. i went to shift into 4th and it grinded kinda and there was a loud thump sound. The smoke smelled weird it wasnt clutch or burnt oil it was something i've never smelled before.??

stock b20b dont go over 6k rpms . should cut off around 5.5-5.8 k depending on ecu . sound like to me you are over reving casuing your crank bearing to go out and went boom . b20 cranks arent made for high revs .and with having dry oil in your car with that high of a rev is going to do some damage to the crank or rods .good luck though

it doesnt matter what happened or what he did. when you dont have oil in the car and it makes a noise and smoke comes out, and wont crank much less even spin the crank, its fucked. get a new motor and make sure you have oil in it
