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?

Set the engine up such that the cylinders are pointing towards the sky (engine stand helps here), fill the bores with Kroil or PB Blaster. Let sit for a while. It will drain out, keep it pretty wet for a while. Do the other side. Pull on the cylinders, see if any of them are free to start with. Get those, their pistons, and rods out of the way. Any remaining ones, heat them, maybe a little persuasion with a hammer on the piston, and they should break free. Smashing the cylinders seems like you have a good chance of messing up the case, but I've never tried it.
