ENGINE SEIZED !!!Where is the E-shaft, How can I turn it
What the **** ! I have a 90 model non turbo rx7 convertible, It's a piece of ****, It was leaking coolant and I never took care of it, all I did is refilled it with water everyday witout any coolant mixture, I know I'm a dumb ***, I unhooked the gages because I was annoied by the noise when it needed coolant.
The car is been in the sitting down for 2 months, I drove it on the freeway for 10 minutes going 65 mph knowing that it needed a little bit of coolant, when I got off the exit the car shut down when I got to the stoped sign,smoke was coming out of the hood, I don't remember what it smelle like, I didn't move it, I just put it on park and walked home, next day I tried to cranck it but it wouldn't go, it's been in my house for 2 months, yesterday I took the radiator out, the fan out, and somebody told me that I can try to move the engine, is that true, how do I do it? I need some mmo too I think .
THANKS 4 THE HELP !!!!

Where were you leaking coolant from? Radiator? Or did you have a blown coolant seal?
Don't try and drive it again, it will just be a safety hazard... get it towed to wherever it needs to go. Better to pay a hundred bucks for a flatbed to wherever you need it to be than to get into a serious pickle in the middle of a public street.

If you're going to use MMO (which might be a good idea, just in case it starts by some act of god), clean the spark plugs too... just make sure you correctly re-plug everything (especially the spark plug cables), a ****-up in the firing order will do a hell of a lot more damage to your engine, haha.
Good luck, stay safe.

Also, I'm sure MMO would work wonders on fused apex seals.

Should I put MMO before I even try to turn the engine?
