Spanish term or phrase: \"El motor se amarró\"
Buenas tardes. ¿Alguien sería tan amable de decirme cuál es el término en inglés para "el motor se amarró", por favor? Es para la traducción de un seguro marítimo y el contexto es el siguiente:

"El motor (del buque-draga) se amarró, por lo que se revisaron niveles, filtros y tubos".

De antemano agradezco su ayuda.

English translation:The engine seized up
Explanation:
un motor se "amarra" cuando se produce una de dos situaciones:

1. el motor se queda sin aceite

2. el motor recalienta terriblemente.

se le dice "amarrarse" cuando, a raíz de las altas temperaturas, los metales de biela, bancada (cigüeñal) o ambos se funden por las altas temperaturas en el cigüenal y/o en las bielas. esto genera que estas piezas y el motor en general terminen en una condición inservible en casi la totalidad de los casos. se llama amarrarse porque al fundirse estas piezas el motor no gira más.

Hola,
¿Sabe alguien como se dice en ingles que se ha gripado un husillo o que se ha gripado el motor de un coche? ¿Que termino se utiliza para decir esa palabra en ingles?

Seized up. The car has seized up. This means that the car does not work anymore, perhaps because there was no oil or water in the engine and then the car "seizes up."

Engine seizure is normally the result of a failure of the lubrication system. It is often where a piston has friction welded itself to the cylinder bore. Sometimes it will be the big end bearing , the main bearings or the small end bearing. The net result is the same, though. The engine cannot be rotated. If you are very lucky, and the siezure is only slight, then the engine may free up again when it cools down. But damage will still have been done. Until water cooling and special oils were developed, racing two stroke engines were notorious for piston siezures.

The difference between engine and motor:

engine = a device that uses combustion or heat to produce motion
motor = a device that converts electric (or hydraulic) energy into motion
