Re: New to Model A
Try mixing Acetone with Atf 50/50 and soak, or Kroil oil.

Thanks, knowing the background and history of the car is useful in providing advice. Sounds like it may have been sitting for a long time, perhaps in less than optimal storage conditions. Perhaps sitting because of this issue. |

Re: New to Model A
If the starter is still stuck... grab the starter with a strap wrench and turn the housing. The bendix will snap back into place and the starter will fall out.

Re: New to Model A
Now that the engine is free, change the oil before you try to start it. Open plug and let it drain overnight. See what comes out.

Note the level on the dipstick 1st, and measure how much comes out. 1st time I drained, only got about 3 quarts, if I had known better would have known it was a clue that I had tons of goo in the bottom of the oil pan and should have dropped the oil pan and cleaned it out. Another reason for changing the oil 1st is you may have contaminated oil due to pouring stuff into the pistons. |

Re: New to Model A
David: So you bought a Model A with a stuck starter? I wonder if the seller knew that? Maybe he thought the engine was fatally seized? Some guys have all the luck!! Glad you got the starter out and the engine now turns freely.
I would definitely follow all the good advice from previous posts regarding changing oil, and thoroughly. Like they said, let it drain over night and see what you get. mike |

Re: New to Model A
When your ready to start the engine, crank it with the plugs out to remove most of the oil mixture used as a penetrant. A towel over the plug holes would be a good idea.
