sticky engine

[Larry Flynt]

To all those who posted replies to "Stuck engine" on Feb 13-14, 2008, the quart container that contained the "oil" poured into the engine of my MF diesel engine by a hired hand (no longer working here) was found and appears to have been linseed or soybean oil removed from the oil room by mistake.

I appreciate all replies to my query.

Thank you for your 2nd post. It's nice to know the outcome of a situation that is brought up here.

Another no no is to use cooking oil to oil a gun. The oil dries out hard and locks everything up when in storage. I heard it took a gunsmith a long time of soaking just to get the bolt open.
