It maybe caused due to not using it for long time. Poor storage conditions account for more engines being seized than any other factor.
Airborne humidity and rainwater are the main culprits.Corrosion between cylinder walls, pistons and piston rings starts immediately once water or water vapor enters the engine. Corrosion (rust) forms immediately, causing your engine to seize.

What exactly do u mean by engine that is not working?Does the piston get jammed in the cylinder and doesnot move at all?? Also I've heard that prolonged high speed runs [above red line] also causes the same. Can anyone shed some light on it?
