If the engine is froze up, the flywheel can't be turned. You can use a socket and breaker bar on the crankshaft bolt, work it back and forth in both directions and it might break loose, but I wouldn't count on it. Usually you have to take the caps off of the connecting rods in order to turn the crank.
No, a rusted flywheel will not cause the engine not to turn over.
when you have a clutch put in you also have to replace or remove the flywheel and have it refaced to keep from messing up the new clutch, and yes the flywheel is suspose to turn when the engine is turning, so if the flywheel wasnt replaced or refaced then i would say that the flywheel is what the problem is
sounds like the ring gear or flywheel is worn if you have a manual or stick shift put it in 2nd gear depress clutch let car roll a little release clutch (the engine will turn slightly) then try starting engine. with auto transmission you will have to turn engine over with socket and ratchet bar (if you cant turn over at the drive belt by hand) if this starts your car the flywheel will need replacing... Could also be the bendix ... the solenoid that engages the starter motor to the flywheel.
A machine shop uses a surface planer.
thanks how many holding blots and where bad bendix (starter drive) if the spring in the starter bendix is weak or broken it will not engage the flywheel; but the starter will turn normally. bad thing is ,you have to pull the starter..good luck..

A bad flywheel can definitely cause the engine not to turn over. The flywheel has teeth. If the teeth are chipped or broken, then the starter can not engage to spin the engine over.
If you don't use a flywheel, the engine will not turn the transmission, therefore the car will not move and the engine will just sit and idle and probably roll away because there is nothing to lock the transmission with.
it turns to cool the engine it has little fins on it to draw/suck air in to cool the engine down
To turn the engine over so that it will start. The starter engages cogs on the flywheel.
Pull the starter motor so you can see the flywheel. Make a chalk mark on the flywheel. Have someone turn the engine over by hand while you watch the flywheel turn one revolution. Look at the gear teeth and watch up in there for flexing and cracks and see that the bolts are all tight.
The battery & the starter turn the engine via the flywheel, but has nothing to do with wether or not ignition itself is functional. Verify is firing.

If the engine is running, you will destroy the starter and possibly the flywheel/pressure plate.
you turn the key, key crosses solenoild, solonoil turns starter on the flywheel, which is attached to the crankshaft at the rear of the engine

Turn the flywheel located behind the drivers side wheel in front. Using a rachett
