I cam across a freebie 914 engine that is siezed. Apparently, they took the manifold off one of the heads, and let rain get in there and it siezed the engine. At least that is what it looks like. I haven't torn it down yet. Are there any words of wisdom about rebuilding a seized engine?

QUOTE(jwalters @ May 3 2007, 05:11 PM)  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) take a very big hammer and........smash the jugs off - the break apart really, realy easily... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) This is the easiest route. They are junk anyway. I had a 2.0 that was siezed but the crank, rods and heads were ok. The case was junk though. Badly pitted in the oil pan area. I would look for another core to rebuild and only take that one apart if it is a 2.0L. It's really more work than it's worth to get dime a dozen parts. |
