IT'S LOCKED UP!, boohoohoo Options

[Mr.C]

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)

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!!
