Default Re: Engine seized??

Take out the Spark Pugs, and make a mix of 1 Quart ATF and 1 quart Acetone, using a funnel with a small hose on the outlet pour a cup into each cylinder, use the left over in equal parts into the Cylinders. Some will flow around the Valves to help free them if they are Stuck.

Let it set a few Days, then with a helper, put a 6 pt socket on the Crank Nut with a Breaker Bar and a 3 ft length of pipe, have helper use a Bar on the Ring gear, at the same time try to rotate it free. Go back and forth in both directions, but be careful to not loosen the crank nut. My Son and I have loosened a couple stuck Model A motors this way. If you don't have a socket, use a pipe wrench. On one engine we almost gave up, wouldn't budge, than my Son stood up on the Pipe to the crank and made the motions of jumping up and down, it broke Free.
