Stuck Engine

[Allis Dan]

What is the best stuff you can put in an engine to free it up????

PB Blaster by far. Some atf/diesel mix will work in a pinch. Lots of PB blaster and time. Time all depends on how "stuck" it is.

Ive found brake fluid works pretty good to. Might be a little cheaper

I usually dont have time to let things set around and wait . so i have found a 2 1/2 inch diameter pipe and a 8 lb sledge hammer does the trick for me.

Vinager works have used it many times in old v8 motors try it.

Don"t know for sure, but I have heard from a few people that good ol Coca-Cola does wonders on stuck engines.

If you have the time, taking an old spark plug knock out the ceramic and tread the base to accept an air fitting. Then with an inline pressure gauge, to make sure you dont do more harm than good, I used compressed air to help break her free. Works pretty good, if you do the mass its area = pi(r^2)so when you figure the amount of pressure distrubted over the whole surface, its almost impossible to match that with a block and hammer. GOOD LUCK!

Iwould ask you to rethink that before getting hurt by a exploding block. the ammount of energy delivered to the target( a piston ) by the hammer blow is equivalent to one half the mass of the head times the square of the heads speed at time of impact E=mv squared
