What type of 4 cylinder? Also, punctuation makes it easier to understand the written word.

Take the drive off and see if it turns easier.Any kind of light oil in the cylinders might help.Battery good?Hook up 2 batteries and see if that helps.

This is a help forum not school.If you can't help don't add anything.J

Yeah, but one does himself a disservice by making his post difficult to understand and tedious to read.

I believe he has the motor out already, so the drive is probably disconnected.

If he had punctuation and paragraphs, it would have made it easier to notice that.

Re: newly rebuilt motor seized from sitting

With the plugs out, outdrive disconnected, you should be able to spin the motor by hand on the flywheel. Loosening the rod and mains says one could be tight. Tighten the mains one at a time and then spin. Same with the rod bearings. Check the clearances on the one that stiffens it up. Might even have swapped a rod or a main cap. Make sure there is oil on the bearings. Rings could also be rusted.
