thanks for reply Virginia

honestly, I'm not great with the cars and my mechanic never explained why he said the engine seized. I have some friends tryin to help me out so I will let them know what you said.

As I remember, the temp did not shoot up or go up even a little. I'm pretty sure I looked to because I have had that happen on an older Honda i owned.

The more I look into, the more I optimistic I am getting that I didn't do too much damage to the engine. I have a feeling I will get it fixed and it won't be too bad.

Thanks again, keep the ideas and thoughts coming lol.

Hey guys,

I have two very short videos showing a twisted belt (look closely) and the engine click noise I am getting. Please let me know if you can help me out, thanks.

have you had the starter tested yet? also did you try that idea of removing the spark plugs and trying to turn it over? still almost sounds like the battery is dead or the engine is locked up somehow
