does that work ive tryed wd40 but did'nt do any thing should i take the head's off do you think

[escort new boy]

drop the heads off an cover the pistons an let is soke down the bores

[bortaf]

REDEX down the bores can un seize a seized engine or as stated hot oil or just thin oil can unseized em, really depends and where they are seized, IE bores or bearings?

Usually bores

you need to give WD a few days to seep into all the cracks and do it's work

[lee_capri]

i will try all the above as it is a race built v8 so i must try

 

im going to rip the head's off to see if that help's as i can then see more of what is going on

drop it in a barrel of diesel

 

it's a v8

 

A big barrel

 

I suspect though if it's seized and been standing a long time then it'll have corrosion in the bores and whilst it may free off, it's unlikely to perform like the race engine it was built to be.

[lee_capri]

think you might be right vista all i can do really is salvage as much as possable off it,

 

do you think the head's will be any-good

[Vista]

Assuming it's been kept inside and has been dry, with the possible exception of the valves the heads should be ok, it's not an OHC V8 is it?

[lee_capri]

it's a rover int they all the same it as been kept in side but the damp as go to the car to the extent the rust worm is well alive im hopeing the rust worm dont spead to my other osf's

It's a secret as I have to practice what I preach and not talk about it in OSF chat.
