    Motor seized g63b

    So my question is, Is it possible for anything in transmission to cause the motor to lock up??



    I just rebuilt motor with new timing belt and components, head gasket, balance shaft elimination, jet valve elimination, added weber, all new ignition components. I started truck, sounded good for a bit, then i reved a bit nothing major and a loud knocking noise started so i turned it off. Started it again noise got louder so i pushed in clutch pedal it made a wierd clunking noise and motor seized.

    Thats bad news bud. Sorry to hear that . What was wrong with the engine that made you rebuild it to begin with? Did the rod break or did the cap bolts fail?

    Well when I bought it, it had really no power to it, very very poor acceleration......so i just tore into it right away. no noise on way home. It got new everything.....I didnt touch rods crank or pistons......new oil pump, timing, ignition, fluids, gaskets, and a few performance changes. I havent looked at anything other then the bottom of rod out the block......ill post pic soon

    did you pack or prime the pump? Bottom ends fail if there is no oil or a bolt came loose. To ensure a prime you would use a drill to spin the pump.

    The oil pump has to spin pretty fast to pump oil through the it. I prefer issuing the fitting on the intake manifold to brake booster. Or you can buy yourself a new fitting. Remove the oil pressure switch/sending unit from the oil filter housing, double check thread pitch with the fitting if you got one already, screw the fittig into the oil pressure switch/sending unit location, use a fluid pump and pump it into the fitting.

    Packing it with grease should have worked - are you sure the balance shaft belt that drives the oil pump didn't come off or lose teeth?

    If you can determine the reason for the failure, then you will be able to warn the next guy that comes along wanting to do the same thing.

    This sucks the big one. That is why I finally said screw the stock stuff and just did, what I did to my truck. I can't tell you haw many heads, head gaskets, ignition modules, drive line center bearings, trans, front end parts and other what not's I went through over the past 30 years.
