D.O.A. Mazda - Seized Engine, MAJOR FAILURE. Can we fix it?

[@ianwalker2896]

Hey, turn that off. Greta's going to be p'd with you for that.

[@jeremyscaggs7315]

Oh that... that was all natural environmentally friendly sustainably sourced smoked. Nothing to worry about there ;-)

[@evanhadsall6693]

I had a Ford 3.0 do the same. Junkyard engine and I didn't pull the pan. Sludged up oil pump from the teenager that owned the truck it came out of. Always pull the pan on a used engine..

[@springer-qb4dv]

Thanks for the video! Shocked to see you got it "running". My car is seized too, but in much less dramatic way. Just low coolant (radiator leaked) and I didn't notice it was low on coolant before I drove it four miles. Engine temerature gauge didn't show overheating. Back home, car was running smooth, and I filled the coolant up to top, shut engine off Couple fo days later starter seem to have died. Replace with new starter and it still can't turn over the engine. I guess I will try PB blaster down the spark hole and see if I can turn over the engine manually. Lesson here for me is if car is low on coolant, fill it up with something, even water and KEEP IT RUNNING for a while to cool down the engine BEFORE SHUTTING IT OFF! Otherwise super hot cylinder walls could melt with cylinder rings seizing the engine.

[@isheanopaobedience4939]

Have you fixed it yet?

[@genedunn9283]

Love the video of the bottom end while it was running…awesome!!

[@brianhaw9398]

Doug,you appear to have the same problem as me. Not enough gravity. Someone who's 250 or so might have been able to break her loose but we could just bounce on the breaker bar. You should be able to pick up a motor in your favorite junkyard relatively cheap.

[@jimflys2]

You need to mix the ATF with equal part Acetone. This makes for an extremely powerful penetrant. No kidding. Look it up.

[@wyoming8814]

man that explorer took me back, i watched it on a rainy day that was worse than the one you worked on it in

[@DEInTheGarage]

That was a fun DOA to work on. I wish I could get more like that, but it was a once in a lifetime deal. Never should have let it go

[@rawnlivewithsyregreen9561]

i have a 98 camry and its been days of trying to unseize and i got slight movement on crank bolt but its not breaking free the oil is showing on oil stick around the low mark after a few days ... i dont see damage in the block from looking...

[@wildbill23c]

Should have checked the transmission fluid level, might have had as much in it as the engine LOL.

[@fullmindstorm]

That was very entertaining, seeing the 3 cylinders to run was dope 👍🏼needless to say I subscribed.

[@kennethsee6262]

Go out each day and try to turn over by the bottom crank pully back and forth if move fraction of inch then work on turning it a lot more pull out the plugs and leave out while trying to turn over

[@nuncleaimo8874]

I have a seized engine but the oil is full what should we do its defintly seized

[@jcmarth1]

Marvel mystery oil works real good Just poor in the cylinders wait overnight and It will turn right over

yikes! She's a done deal. Enjoy the channel! Thanks for the content...

[@braaapattack2937]

Miles won’t mean much with a new(er) motor, throw a motor in her, couple mirrors, and a windshield and she should be good (she obviously doesn’t take good care of it. So why get a newer car to destroy in the same amount of time), long as the frame/underbody/unibody is good, send it

[@DEInTheGarage]

Well bud, you and the owner are of the same mind! She decided to get a motor for it which I will be putting in this weekend

[@piasprojects]

Heck affording a lift is easier than finding one. They are rather difficult to find at this time. With regards to the Mazda, I’d pull a motor and toss it in, heck that one lasted 230k, might as well go a bit further. Looking forward to what comes next!

[@DEInTheGarage]

Well we took for advice and bought a junkyard motor for it! There will be a video or two coming on that

[@piasprojects]

Hi my engine had oil and all its fluids! I was told it seize ? I think it was the fuel, the engine was really hot 🔥 but since I've had something from turning the key, any advice ?

[@mkatalin09]

Boy,do these mazdas rust over the years. Never seen a car brand that rusts so fast.Great video👍👍

[@athikerguy4life]

What else is wrong with it that makes it a candidate for the yard? Hard to tell the condition but I’d grab a used motor and send it down the road. We always talk about how cars don’t deserve to get sent to the pick and pulls

[@DEInTheGarage]

Well it has a lot of body damage, high miles, bad tires, broken mirrors, and other issues from neglect, but it turn out the owner wants me to give a junkyard motor a shot, so stay tuned for that!

[@athikerguy4life]

@@DEInTheGarage I mean with the used car market the way it is right now, I’m sure they could get more than the scrap price for it. Unless it’s super rusty or had other high price items going bad I think a used motor is the right choice. Even if they don’t want it anymore, they’ll probably get their money back selling it running and driving (on all 4 cylinders this time)

[@randomactsofdave7435]

Just the right amount of constructive destruction 👌. Put a Hemi in it!

[@dahawk891]

good ol Jersey boy right here! thanks for the help!

[@fdmackey3666]

I would not be surprised if the oil pan bolt was broken when she took the car into have the new tire mounted. Why? I know of two cases that ended up in lawsuits being filed against #1: A certain mega box store and #2: a national chain that offers fast oil changes. In case #1 the mega store was found liable for almost $10,000.00 in damages that resulted from damage (actually destroyed) to the victims late model F-150 V-8 engine when the drain plug was cross treaded AND the wrong filter was installed. In case #2 the fast oil change company ended up buying a new engine for the victim's Toyota sedan when the oil pan parted company with the car five miles down the road following an "oil change". broken AND improperly tightened oil pan bolts were found to be the cause. That one caused the oil change company to fork out about $6,000.00 for a replacement four cylinder engine. Of course the lawyers made out like bandits in both cases.

[@DEInTheGarage]

I would not be surprised. I have first hand experience of fluid exchange shops breaking stuff and sending it out the door without mentioning it.
