I have a 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, and it sat for about half a year to
a year, any ways, dad and I go out to start it one day, and I'm almost
positive it rolled, not far, but a little, any ways, the engine is siezed
tighter than a drum, dad had the swing handle on the bolt for the crank
Pully, and damn near twisted it off trying to roll it over, So I natrually
thought it sized , but for sitting that short of time, This car has never
had any problems before, the best car ever, great on gas and all that good
sh.t, the only problem was that the EFI was getting a little dirty, so it
was a pain to start sometimes.  Any ways I was looking at some stuff on
the internet and came across Hydrolock, and I'm thinking, what is this, so
I read some more, and they it can be the same as having a siezed engine.
So if anybody has any ideas on what I can do to try and get the engine to
roll over, let me know!!

You can eliminate hydrolock as a possibility by removing all the spark plugs
then trying to turn it over.
