Default Re: Model A motor froze-up

Pull off the valve cover and make sure the valves are opening and closing useing a screw driver or something like it to check them. For some reason Model A's stick valves
when they sit. They can lock up a motor just like the pistons can.
Just make sure they are free before you try to unstick the rest of the motor.
I have seen a couple of blocks where they tried to tow the car to unstick the motor
and broke the lifter bosses right out of the motor.
So after the valves are unstuck check the lifters also.
And the ATF and Acentone thing really works, better than anything I've ever used.
Happy unsticking...........
