I bought a ford 800 a few months ago and just recently the engine seized up. I pulled the starter because it started to smoke(i did not hold it down for an extended amount of time, it just locked up and started to smoke), so i pulled it and every thing looked good besides being filthy. I was going to just buy I new one but I decided to check the engine just in case and my engine was stuck. Pulled the head soaked the cylinders for two days and still no movement. so I continued to break it down. When I dropped the pan there were metal shaving in it, took the oil pump out and the end that goes to the block was pinched closed and the seal broke. Continued to break it down and took a look at the fly wheel and teeth were broken off.
My question is what the hero could of caused this? I'm stuck I'm going to continue to break it down and purchase ash over haul kit. But I need/have to know what the hell happened. Thank you.
