motor seized HELP!

[the_appoxal]

i just bought a blow 93 240 for 500 bucks. the guy i bought it from said that he down shifted doing 90...i dont know to what gear, and the motor shut off and wont crank. im thinking he bent or broke the valves. Does anyone know anything else that could be wrong. i havent taken it apart yet due to rainy weather.

Will it turn over when you turn the key? It just wont fire?

if the motor wont fire, youre probably in a position where it would cost less at this point to find a running KA24 and swap it in. that would be easier/less costly than diagnosing the problem (could be a lot of things from what you say happened to the car) and repairing it.

ka motors range from free to $350 for the best example i have seen.

good luck.
