went out for a ride. Alarm went off. shut down immediately and noticed temperature gauge all the way up. while letting engine cool down for 1/2 hr before restarting. When I went to restart engine would not crank, like it was stuck. Was towed back and taken out of water. Complete intake was completely covered with barnacles. Engine would still not crank when out of water. Checked oil by was clear no water in it.. Any suggestion do you think engine is shot. if spark plugs are removed will engine turn . Any suggestions would be appreciated and any thoughts.
Mark sorry to hear this. Yes remove spark and see if water comes out. A hot overheated engine will not turn over being distorted but once cooled down will turn. See if it cranks over tomorrow if not pull the plugs and try again. Not uncommon to warp the heads if overheated to this point.
engine seems to seized up
