Keeping an engine free

Anyway, the engine is starting to sieze. I was able to turn it over last july (actually breaking the pistons free, which started my suspisions)and could still move the engine in the fall.

last night, I tried to turn it over, but could not budge it with a 5-foot breaker bar in the belt pully. (I wonder if i'm too late. I'll try again in the morning when it's warmer.)

So, what is the best cure for a freashly siezed engine? I would prefer not to remove the heads until I'm ready to rebuild the thing. I filled two of the cyilenders with diesel before my deep socket gave out.

thanks in advance for any replies,

Chris

Thanks for all the replys, everyone!

Don't use brake fluid. It's not petroleum and it's hydroscopic which means it atracts water. Anyone who has dealt with pitted stuck rusted beyond hope brake cylinders would probably agree.

i have an MM ut it had sat for a number of years,perhaps about six,as my uncle would start it by crank (hand) every once n awhile,but thus the crank mechanisum broke,and it didn't git started anymore,so when i got it,it was siezed.

i ended up opening the "inspection covers" on the ebngine block,and using a long pry bar,and pryed against some of the rod "throws" on the crankshaft and used the starter also,by "bumping" it, and it came loose

Then i started it,and it ran fine,now all i need is a new manifold,as you know they are "notorious" for rotting out,do you have one? or know where i can get one?

be safe out there
