Yeah, I considered that yellow one too when I was shopping for tools before pulling my wifey’s motor earlier this year. I went into a local harbor freight store and looked at them both (the orange and the yellow one). The yellow one just looked like it wasn’t made very well, in my opinion. I went with the orange one and have no regrets. It worked like a charm. I just lubed up the screw and went to town. Got the motor into a 45 degree angle and then back to level without breaking a sweat.

This may have already been asked I'm not sure, are you certain the engine is in fact seized? Did you try to turn it without the belt on? I'm not saying it's impossible for an engine to just stop turning all at once without serious mechanical failure, but it is unlikely.

Oil starvation (probably) isn't going to lock it up right away. If it were hot enough to weld parts together (pistons rings is the most likely) you would have seen the engine overheating.

Yes everything is off the engine. Belts, intake everything. Valve covers it still will not turn spark plugs are out.
I took the oil pan down the other day and put my phone in while it was on video I couldn't see anything unusual. Everything looked normal from what I could see. But I only saw the last two pistons on the back of the engine.
&the cams and everything look good.
