What is a seized engine?

1.86K views

I was watching a video on Dunkirk and was told that soldiers would run truck engines dry to cause them seize and rendering them useless to the Germans. What is an engine seize? Can those engines be salvaged? Or would the Germans in this scenario know it’s hopeless and scrap the engine completely?

Metal on metal needs lube. Without it the metal gets too hot and expands. That means your motor is fused together. Congratulations on your new boat anchor
