I bought a 1973 2.0 914 that has been sitting for the last 5 years in a guys garage .. he thinks the eng hasn't turned over and is seized ... is there any tricks in trying to get it to turn over .. I have heard of bus engines sitting for years and guys going out and firing them up .. would love to hear from anyone that has had the same problem .. Thanks.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I bought a seized 1.8L engine. Drained the oil; most of what came out was water.
Removed the plugs; squirted WD40 and motor oil into each cylinder. Forced the engine to move about 1 degree and back. Then 2 degrees and back a bit, then 3, 4, ... until the engine turned 360 degrees. Never removed the heads. Tested and installed the original FI. I'm still running the engine 5 years later. Pulls good for a 1.8L. |
