Engine locked up! next step?

[ArtByScars]

i've had a locked up motor on my '79 850... it's been soaking in ATF/mystery oil for almost a year now. One of these days I'll get to it to see if it has freed up by now.

Ed, how hot did it have to be to remove the liners from the cylinders?

Not sure Tom, put them on my BBQ and the liners fell out before I could get a good gauge on the temp. My guess is 320 F or there abouts.

Ah now i see where that was going.

In my experience after 172C i could force a liner out with a few light taps with a dead blow hammer.

Once the temp reached around 200 both liners fell out and scared the crap out of me :P



and 180
