frozen engine

[Walker]

I have an engine that's been sitting for a while and seems to have locked up. Is there anything any of you have had luck with in a similar situation, like putting oil in the plug holes, etc? I'd like to get this thing unstuck before having to take it apart.

Thanks, Art

Ah, yes, forgot about the Marvelous Mystery stuff!! Will try it this weekend. By the way, many years ago a farmer friend of mine's dad used to fill oil sump with diesel and run the car for 10-15 minutes. He claimed it cleaned out the gunk. Never tried it my self. Thanks for the reminder guys.

Not sure if the new low sulfer diesel would be such a good idea.
