    Yup, cooked and seized. Not much doubt about it. That’s why it popped out of the water when it stopped, as he said earlier, in another thread. If it were oil related, I don’t think he could restart it, by now. Videos are hard to gauge as far as sound goes; but I thought it was noisy as soon as it started and got progressively MORE noisy, until it locked. Also, I am not even sure it was running on two cylinders when it WAS running. And it did seem to pop out of gear once, in the beginning; although he has different gears now. Let’s see…..carry the four and…..his current mechanic should charge him $1,647,998 to fix that motor now.

    Long live American manufacturing!
