Re: Model A motor froze-up
Bill, she doesn't want to wait 30 years for the diesel to work!
Oh, wait, it was stored for 30 years. LOL

Re: Model A motor froze-up
I can't remember if you put anti freeze in it or not but make sure that there is no water in your A. Glad to see the progress that you've made.

Re: Model A motor froze-up
If you have reasonable access to the nuts you may be able get a Dremel cut off wheel in there to either split the nut or enough to get the chisel in there like Tom said.

Re: Model A motor froze-up
I would suggest running the bolt in and out of their holes without the starter until they do it smoothly. How freely does the motor turn over?

Re: Model A motor froze-up
We haven't heard anything in a couple of weeks. Is there any progress being made since the motor seems to be turning over a little?

I personally would however I'd like to hear what others have to say. If you do, put in the spark plugs, remove the plug wires/straps, put a baggie over the distributor and oil filler cap.

Re: Model A motor froze-up
If you are getting some movement then that's encouraging. It should continue to get increased movement as rocking progresses.

Re: Model A motor froze-up
Is the fan belt tight and when rocking it in 3rd gear is there any movement of the fan blade?
PS Also when moving my car it's easier to grab a tire at the 10 O'clock and 2 O'clock position and use...

Re: Model A motor froze-up
It didn't get stuck overnight and it won't get unstuck overnight. Just keep "plugging" away. Sorry I couldn't resist that one. When loosening stuck bolts/plugs sometimes a little force in the...

Re: Model A motor froze-up
Betsy, I don't think that you are to that point yet. After you get that motor spinning most the MMO will come out of the spark plug holes and past the valves to the crankcase. That is good thing to...

Re: Model A motor froze-up
Keep her rocking. Soon you will see movement growing exponentially. First 1/100th of a revolution then 1/75th then 1/25th and on and on. Sounds like it will free up!
Again, leave the plugs out of...

Re: Model A motor froze-up
I posted something similar a year or so ago and it wasn't received kindly.
I don't see why you should get preferential treatment! LOL

Re: Model A motor froze-up
If you check the archive you'll see that many Barners will walk by their projects every couple of days and squirt some MMO or other products for weeks before trying to get it turning. Be patient but...
