230 Engine

[Russell Pinyan]

I just rescued a 230 out of the weeds. If the engine is seized what kind of oil do I need to pour in the spark plug holes to loosen it up before I try to turn it over or is that what I need to do?

I use tranny fluid in all my stucl engines. So far out of 20 plus only 2 didn't free up and run well after doing that. It takes time so fill them up and keep an eye on them and keep filling them, always put the plugs back in to keep dirt etc. out of the cylinders. I also always use a 12 volt battery and the starter to pop them free since it puts out a lot more torque then you can by doing any thing
