Re: stuck 30
A friend of mine in the antique tractor hobby uses E-85 to free stuck engines and parts.

Re: stuck 30
I put used diesel oil in my A that sat since 1971, it took about 3 weeks to free up. make sure you take the carb and exhaust off. after that it fired up and ran great.

Re: stuck 30
I think that Coke A Cola has the same issues as vinegar, might work OK but not is this application.

Re: stuck 30
If one valve is stuck closed a person should easily be able to turn the engine backwards from one side of the cam lobe to the other and the engine would stop turning. The engine really only needs to turn backwards just a little bit to show that the problem is a stuck valve . I would never use turning force to unstick a valve .

Re: stuck 30
I am confused. Are we talking about the same engine? [email protected] - OP and

At any rate if the rod caps are loose one cylinder would be stuck at exactly TDC (odds against) for the crankshaft to not move at all, the crank should turn CCW or CW slightly or something else is stuck. John |
