Hi guys I got a 97 f150 4.6 4x4 I had a little trouble yesterday when I was driving my oil light came on and I heard a loud screech so I shut it off. Now it won't start it just clicks as if a bad starter which I just replaced two days ago any ideas???

 

Get a wrench on the drive shaft and see if you can turn it by hand.

Sound to me like you lost oil pressure, and she locked up tight enough that the starter can't spin it.

Bad, bad, and more bad, if that's the problem.

 

C'mon man I thought we were friends haha not quite what I wanted to hear thanx for the reply I'll try that later today

 

Yeah, that's not good. Put it in neutral, and put a breaker bar on the crank. See if you can turn the engine over with a breaker bar.

Yep motors locked any ideas on unlocking it I think what happened is I got moisture in the oil and it froze and lost oil pressure I was thinking put a ton of seafoam in it top and bottom of the piston then drop the oil pan and change the oil

 

That's not going to work.

You have probably seized the pistons to the cylinder walls. You will need to tear the entire engine apart and have the block serviced because the walls are probably scored and need to be machined. Lots of other problems could be lurking as well.

That engine is toast.

 

Dirty battery cables try that but Idk abt oil pressure

 

I just replaced the battery and tried jumper cables but nothing worked

 

Dirty battery cables are the last of his worries if the engine is seized.

 

Greaaat I was afraid if that and I just redid the heads cams and timing chains last year
