timely video for my 9622a stuck beauty 🙂
If your engine is seized up badly, this doesn’t work. I tried this product and technique after soaking the pistons in ‘you name it’ for about six months.
The end result was a broken crankshaft. I will never tighten a flywheel nut with an impact wrench again.
I was lucky to find a good powerhead replacement.
Just to expand on this. I am fairly certain that my seized motor was used in saltwater and had been tipped so that saltwater ran into the exhaust ports and into the pistons by an owner that didn’t know any better. Then it was laid down on a garage floor without being run in a fresh water tank and not fogged. When I removed the cylinder head there was lots of white aluminum oxide.
Basically, everything had been done wrong from a storage point of view.
If your powerhead is just weather seized from sitting, then the chances are very good for getting it unseized.
I just don’t want people to think that the product from the video is some kind of miracle because I can tell you that it is not!
