Find a 19mm socket, 0.5 inch drive or larger; about 15 or more inches of extension, and a 24" or longer breaker bar (or ratchet and length of pipe that will slip over the ratchet). Now, turn crank bolt clockwise (have ratchet switch in position to tighten a normal bolt/nut).

 

Thank you! These were the answers I’m looking for

 

The crank, main shaft bolt is on the right side behind passenger front wheel.

Can one turn wheel all the way to the right and get to crank bolt with out removing left front tire? Not sure.

Regardless, In the right wheel well there is a circular spliced hole, in plastic baffle, behind wheel.
That is where you would insert a tool to turn motor over.

Just not sure you can access w/o removing tire.

HTH

 

THANK YOU!!!
Exact answer!! 👍👍👍

 

Another suggestion, see if this Odyssey model has an inspection cover to see if the timing belt is turning while you rotate the crankshaft by hand.
You might have a broken timing belt and the valves are hitting the top of the piston preventing it from turning.

 

Thank you! Haven’t looked at it yet.

So do not know what to expect hence the mechanics advice to turn the engine over manually.

I will keep that in mind, google more information about it. Want to ask the right questions and know what to look for before making a decision.

Thank you again!

 

Manually rotating the engine would tell if it's seized or not. Even if it rotates, it could still have other major problems.

I wouldn't buy a car with a non-operating engine. Too risky.
