i doubt anything in the engine is seized from sitting.

My AE86 has an SR that sat for 3 years in my storage locker in the humid ass state of LA, I bought it from a guy that it sat in his storage for a few years as well.
Then another 4 years while I was in japan.

Poured a bit of oil in each cylinder before rotating the crank before I installed it and it had no issues.

I feel like its something with the flex plate, maybe installed backwards, too long of a bolt or bolt head is too long, did you install the flex plate spacer for the crank bolts?
