Re: Best Way to Unseize an Engine

quote Jerry:

Here’s a suggestion that sometimes works (only if both ports are closed) Pour in 50% tranny fluid and 50% Acetone…(best penetrating fluid ever!)
Then make a fitting with an air-hose connector. Apply air from your compressor and let it sit. The air will force the fluid around the stuck rings.

I recall reading a comparison of penetrating oils and the 50/50 mix of ATF and Acetone ranked as the best. I like the idea of using the compressor to pressurize the cylinders. Jerry, can you provide more detail on making up a fitting for this? Do you retrofit a sparkplug?

I have heard about using a grease gun for a similar application, but also heard about the pressure getting so high that it breaks something.
