I decided after years of sitting in the garage to get the 911 my dad gave me going again. Well to make a long story short the engine seems to be LOCKED UP, FROZE however you wanna say it, the damn thing won't turn over! I'm so pissed!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) DAMN DAMN DAMN and to think I was planning on taking it to the WCC. I can't even see straight I'm so mad. ok ok deep breaths. Nah I still don't feel any better. Well it looks like I'm gonna be pulling the thing down. I am gonna head on down to the book store and pick up whats his faces book from pelican or maybe just get drunk. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

Pull the plugs, fill cylinders with diesel fuel (the ones that will hold the liquid), let set for 3 days, then try to turn it.
If you could pull the engine and bolt a bar across the flywheel, you might break it free. |

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not worried so much about the cost it's just the shock of it all right now.

I guess you could say that's what I get for putting the 914 on hold. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Yea, I agree, it is prolly just a carbon lock--that happens allot! Take your drain plug out and drain all the fluids from the engine--take out all the sparkplugs and leave them out--and I agree, fill each cylinder one at a time with a good solvent-something that will break up carbon. Purpose of doing one cylinder at a time --when you fill the cylinder with solvent, if it is ok--the solvent will run out and drip out the drain plug.( this may be slow or fast-depending on if your rings are stuck in the grooves and not sealing well) Do this until you find the cylinder (s) that are plugged up--then let the solvent sit for a couple of days--when you can see in the plug opening that it has reduced--fill it again--and gingerly turn the crank a litle at a time in the direction of normal rotation --you may have to bump the breaker bar handle firmly with your hand--don't just bear down on the handle with all your might--BUMP it--this goes along way to freeing things up well--good luck!!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Yea, but by simply putting it into neutral and cranking it would rule that out........ |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Seeing as you are not worried about the cost---you could spread some of your wealth my way, and assist in the resurrection of a 1972 teener!!!!!!

Marvel Mystery oil!!
Fill the entire case with it as well as the cylinders. A mix of Marvel and Dexron/ Mercon auto tranny fuid has saved many on this end! The stuff is a mystery! I once saved a VW engine that had been locked for 10 years with the stuff.. Took about 3 weeks of "Pickling" to straighten it out.... As soon as she fires up, take it out and give it hell to free it up :-) |

The car is a Sportomatic and I tried turning it over at the crank. It must of just happened cause I was able to turn it over about six months ago. I've calmed down, home brewed Portuguese wine helps. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Thanks Jake I'll try the mystery shit. Maybe I'll make the WCC after all. If not maybe I'll take the teener. Imagine that a teener at a 914 event. Damn
Oh here is a pic of the POS Attached image(s) |

That looks nice. If you give up, I will be glad to take it off your hands. I could have it running in a week or so I am sure of it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

How about we just race to see who's car hits the road first. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) That took me 3 months of body work to get it that way, and that was hours every day too. I just never finished it up to drive. I think I got burnt out, but just recently was motivated again till this happened. I'm still motivated, but man this sux.
