Thank you!

[@vintagedashboard6810]

Your going to have to bore that block maybe 30 or 40 over to clear up those cylinders so you will get maximum compression or it’s not going to have any power and will sling oil out of the exhaust if it will even build enough cylinder pressure to even run. It’s worth doing if you ask me because that’s definitely a going to town car for your family.

[@Sleeperdude]

Yes sir !!!

[@mccrackenphillip]

Adds more cost to the build I would light bore it maby .10 over

[@drunkingsailor2359]

I'm thinking 0.60 won't be enough, that would be max on them cylinder walls

[@HowardJrFord]

That is if it can be bored , some of the cylinders may have too much rust . If more than one or two need sleeved then it would be better to find another block .

Thank you. Marvel mystery works wonders

[@neil6212]

Looks like it was a really tough one! My favorite things to try were covered right off...a 2x4 and a heavy Tonya Harding, followed by muriatic acid (!) I was going to suggest Kroil, and Evaporust too. Probably the next step now, since the acid will eat up the pistons anyhow, would be a 0.040" overbore, or better yet an FE transplant!

[@Sleeperdude]

That would be cool

[@jeffho1727]

Yeah, 2x4 on the cylinders to shock it loose was my first thought after the first cleanup!!! Same principal as an impact gun. The acid is the big gun.

Kroil is pretty amazing at freeing things up that have seized from rust and sitting. Great Work and nice video. Ya'll Take Care and be safe, John PS, I am a gunsmith and do restoration work on some really old and rare firearms. Kroil is the best thing for saving parts that might have wound up in the trash. Some of the guns I repair don't have replacement parts available for them. Soak them with Kroil and let them sit. Making parts isn't easy or inexpensive, Sooo...

[@mrpurcountry]

Cool video, keep in mind 3rd gear gives you the most power and muriatic acid dissolves aluminum really not good for the Pistons. Check online for a product called Gibbs it's a high penetrant rust dissolver and will loosen most engines after it sets a few days, I think the engine might run but it's probably going to use a lot of oil unless you rebuild it

[@Sleeperdude]

Ok thank you

[@jeffberwick]

I'm glad someone else mentioned this. I kept thinking "why don't they put it in 3rd?" In the end, the breaker bar probably had even more torque though.

[@davida.p.9911]

Ralphie had a good idea too with putting fire to it. You can get rusty, stuck bolts loose by heating them up, so....I thought that was a good idea too. That was one stuck engine! Glad to see it free now! 👍👍👍😁 Good work!!

[@Sleeperdude]

He has some good ideas

[@imkwuzn]

Another great video. I must admit, I never expected that old motor to break free. I’ve also never heard of the Muriatic acid trick which was fascinating to watch in time lapse. Ralphy power for the win! It may not have great compression in a couple of those pitted cylinders but I bet it will run👍🏻

[@Sleeperdude]

ITT surprised me too thanks for watching

[@strykerman8590]

Omg, so satisfying to see it break loose. Eye protection around that acid!

[@Sleeperdude]

Thank you

[@clivematthew-wilson7918]

Well done! For better and faster results, you should degrease the bores before you add your vinegar. Otherwise, the oil blocks most of the vinegar from reaching the rust. Vinegar still works with greasy bores, but takes much longer and is less effective. When you have rusty bores, the rust you can see isn't really the problem; you can brush and hone that away. It's the rust you couldn''t see that was locking up the motor. Phosphoric acid works quicker and better than vinegar. As you've already discovered, muratic acid also desolves rust, but it also tends to dissolve any alloy (eg, pistons). It's easier to neutralize acid with baking soda if you dissolve the soda in boiling water first. But well done, you put the effort in and got the result :)

[@Sleeperdude]

Ok thank you for the good info

[@dgmenace73]

Do you have any suggestions on a 3.4l Toyota engine that has sat for 3yrs and the rings are rusted. It will turn over fine it just sounds crazy with no compression. I tried ATF & acetone mix with no luck. It seems like everything just seeps past the rings into the crankcase before it has a chance to work. I haven't tried white vinegar or industrial vinegar. Just hoping I can find someone out there that can help me save this engine. Thanks.

[@clivematthew-wilson7918]

​@@dgmenace73 First you need to check the engine bores with a borescope to check that the valves aren't bent or the pistons damaged. If they're okay, you must degrease the engine, or the rust remover won't be able to get to the rust. Remove the spark plugs and DON'T replace them until the job is complete, or you may hydraulic the engine. Live with the fact that whenever you turn over the engine, crap will spray out of the spark plug holes. Using a spray bottle, lightly spray in detergent mixed with water then cautiously turn over the engine using the starter. Repeat until oily crap stops spraying out the spark plug holes. Detergent foam coming out the spark plug holes is okay. Then lightly spray phosphoric acid, Evapo-Rust or vinegar through the spark plug holes. Lightly turn the engine over to ensure an even spread. Leave phosphoric acid for maybe 12 hours, Evapo-Rust or vinegar for maybe 24-72 hours.Keep the bores wet with rust remover at all times or the rust remover will stop working. Then spray a small amount of water into the bores to remove the rust remover and gently turn the engine over by hand. Then wet the bores again and spin the engine over on the starter until crap stops coming out the spark plug holes. Repeat several times. Then spray in some penetrating oil and turn the engine over on the starter motor until crap stops spraying out the plug holes. Repeat this several times. Drain the engine oil and replace it. Then replace the spark plugs and use engine starter to start the engine. Good luck.

[@dgmenace73]

@Clive Matthew-Wilson thank you.....I actually had watched so many videos that I had decided to at least try exactly what you said. Anything i have tried already didn't get a chance because there was still oil on the rings. I think this just may very well work and I plan on recording the processes. I already had regular vinegar and some of the 45% I think is what it is. Someone else mentioned to heat the rust remover and any oil to 145° since heat makes metal expand as well as makes detergents clean better. Sounds reasonable to me? I will let you know if this works and let me know if anything I just mentioned is a waste of time or a bad idea ( like heating the chemicals up some). Thanks for replying.

Grandfather bought a locked up Farmall tractor. Put a socket, breaker bar and a ten foot pipe on the crankshaft with several hundred pounds of iron on the end of the pipe. Oiled the cylinders and walked away. Three weeks later all the iron was laying on the ground. Time, pressure, leverage and a bit of oil mixed with kerosene broke it loose. Just another weapon in an arsenal of tricks to use if all else fails. Good job on the video.

Mais de uns anos pra car os carros do Brasil em algumas marcas populares estão deichando muito a desejar ... No entanto nosso país passa por uma alta absurda no valor das coisas e os carros populares estão caros de mais = exemplo o mais barato daqui tá custando hoje quase ( 50 mil reais) = preço de avista ,pois se for a prestação sai muito mais caro/ o que é um absurdo... Aqui quem tem um carro antigo ,seja bem - antigo ou antigo moderno ; e esse carro ainda e de um tempo bom - seus donos estão investindo neles para manter - Los rodando e em perfeitas condições... Pois eo que e muito mais significativo nós dias atuais ...

Aqui no Brasil para a maioria está assim = quem tem um carro tem - quem não tem tá difícil de comprar um ... No entanto essa crise valorizou muito os carros usados , valorizou muito os carros antigos !!! E tem ensinando muito a nós brasileiros a economizar ...
