Re: Seized 59AB Engine - Solutions
Yah know, normally I would NOT screw around with a rusted hulk that had the heads off of it and was siting outside for years. But when I see the 'BBQ' method - just makes me want to try it! Who knows, may have to pickup a rusted hulk out West and see what happens. You can bet I'll have my oxy/acet "flame wrench" and bolt cutters waiting to "help it along" if needed!

Make sure you use "Mineral Spirits". It has a very low flash on ignition. I have five blocks I am working on right now.

Last edited by Bored&Stroked; Today at 12:41 PM. The barbecue method is like cooking with a crock pot. The" 'll have my oxy/acet "flame wrench" and bolt cutters waiting to "help it along" if needed!" is the microwave method and is overkill. It would probably end up cracking a block. When you burn the cylinders out you can almost lay your hand on the block. Almost. It is enough to move everything, burn off the cylinder walls and slick the walls back up. I use a brass rod that is 3/4" x 14". The pistons slide right out. |

Re: Seized 59AB Engine - Solutions
Careful pounding out pistons! I have an otherwise nice 8BA Block that was given to me because they hit one piston a bit too hard and put a giant hole in the cylinder wall. So now it’s just spare parts.
Hey now there’s an idea! Maybe I can make a barbecue grill out of the block? |

Re: Seized 59AB Engine - Solutions
I did weld up a small crack on the actual gasket surface of the pan rail. Successfully one would presume as that motor is currently the one running without problem in the 41 pu.
the other motor I have is scrap due to much more extensive cracking on the inside surface (as you say, where the crank is). The central web also has a crack across it and a pronounced step in the machined surface showing how much it has moved. Mart. |

Re: Seized 59AB Engine - Solutions
Never know. I had a 59 given to me, was a irrigation pump motor that was traded in on a re-man and never used, got rained in, block broke. I had to sawzall the pistons to get them out. Saved a new crank, rods, cam & lifters.
