Yes, overheating can cause an engine to lock up. When an engine overheats, the heat can cause metal components to expand beyond their normal tolerances, potentially leading to seizure. Additionally, overheating can damage critical parts like gaskets and bearings, further contributing to engine failure. If not addressed promptly, these issues can result in a complete engine lock-up.
