When the engine is seized will it turn over?

When an engine is seized, it will not turn over. This is because the pistons are unable to move within the cylinders, preventing the crankshaft from rotating. Seizing can occur when there is a lack of lubrication or when there is excessive heat, causing the metal components of the engine to fuse or weld together. In this case, the engine is rendered immobile and will not start or turn over.
