Default Re: engine seized?

yES.. Yank the p;ugs as suggested. Make sure starter is not hung up. The Bendix drive did not disengage from the engine's flywheel.

This sticky starter will look exactly the same as a seized engine.

Bang HARD on the starter with a hammer. Then crank it. Doing so sends a shock into the starter and the Bendix drive spring will pull it away from the engine's flywheel. Then know your starter is the cause... REPLACE! Hope this works for you?

Mark all plug wires first so you can put them back correctly.
