How easy should the crank pulley turn? I bought a 95 civic coupe for $400 but I can't turn the motor at all. I was pushing like crazy counterclockwise and it would turn. Would this mean the motor is seized?

 

Sounds like it, did you check to see if the timing is still on cause if the timing belt broke or is missing a bunch of teeth, it could be that you are trying to turn the crankshaft/pistons which could be hitting open valves.

 

Could be, starter could be jamming up the flywheel too. (never seen on a honda but I have heard of it happening on other stuff) you did try this with the car in neutral right?

 

yeah its in nuetral and the spark plugs out. Should i take the starter off and try it?

 

Sure why not? It's only 2 bolts.

 

You might also remove the three drive belts.

 

no that crap didn't work. i guess its done.
