Is it normal for the crankshaft pulley to be stuck if the car is off.

The crankshaft pulley is responsible for turning the engine over when the car is started. If the pulley is stuck, it can prevent the engine from starting. Sometimes, the pulley may become stuck if the car has been sitting for a long period without being started. If you try to start the car and the crankshaft pulley is stuck, you may need to have it replaced. To avoid getting the crankshaft pulley stuck, it is important to start the car regularly and use a lubricant on the pulley. If the pulley does become stuck, do not try to force it to turn. This can damage the engine. Instead, take the car to a mechanic so they can diagnose the problem and make the necessary repairs.
