Second Try- Seized Engine. Will It Run??

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

Good try though. Also, thanks for calling it an ENGINE instead of a "motor" as so many of the youngsters do today. It seems only us older generation Folks know the difference between an electric motor and automobile engine. For that alone you've earned my subscription!!

@@stevenmenary2862 -- Why don't you write your comment in the main comment section instead of as a reply to me? That's irritating and rude. Just "constructive criticism".

@@stevenmenary2862 I’ve been a salesman for the last 40 yrs. This is just a hobby. I’ve never needed to test compression before. No need to buy one when I can borrow on maybe 1-2 times in my life. I don’t do this to teach anyone/anything. I do it because I enjoy it and thought others would enjoy it.

[@MNClassiccarsandtrucks]

@@stevenmenary2862 I had ZERO intentions of spending money on an engine I’m getting rid of.

@@stevenmenary2862 sounds like you should show us all how to do it since you’re “certified”

Spot on mate like it 👍

Good try anyway and Nice job editing yet again!

Screw the haters!!!

[@MNClassiccarsandtrucks]

Thank you ! Some people feel it necessary to constantly put others down to try to build themselves up. Sad. If someone doesn’t like what I am doing they can move on. I’m just doing this for fun, and hope others enjoy what I’m doing as much as I do.

Fill the cylinders with apple cider vinegar for a week. Works every time.

[@bertgrau3934]

To do a proper compression test, you remove all spark plugs, and block the carburetor in the wide open position and choke fully open. Otherwise you dont get a very good test, especially with a bad battery/starter.

[@MNClassiccarsandtrucks]

@@bertgrau3934 I agree with the removing all spark plugs. I thought of that after I was done, and figured with 2 psi in one cyl, I wouldn’t have enough to get it to run unless the rings freed up. The Full throttle theory was debunked by Roadkill. I was ready to scrap that engine and move on at that point . Thank you for the comments, and not in a sarcastic way as some have done. I’m just trying to have some fun.

[@bertgrau3934]

@MNClassiccarsandtrucks Sir, thank for the information about the throttle, I didn't know that. Have a Happy New Years.

[@MNClassiccarsandtrucks]

@@bertgrau3934 And you as well!

[@derekperkins8158]

hey, you tried..lol

[@kenschultz3836]

sounds like rings are stuck, soak some evapo rust in each cylinder over night flush it out and try again...its how i unstick cylinders and free the rings .. im 3-0 using this method

[@kenschultz3836]

1 cup evap o rust each cyl. might even go 2 days soaking if really stuck

[@MNClassiccarsandtrucks]

Thx. I didn’t want to spend anymore time on it since I’m getting rid of it, and the starter is junk. It would maybe make another good video, but I pulled the engine and transmission yesterday.

Your timing seems to be too advanced, hence the back jumping as seen on the fan. Nice try.
