Seized engine (Read 85 times)

Posts: 14	Seized engine 05/30/10 at 14:51:15 So my buddy's savage seized up, and after a week of the cylinder being soaked in PB Blaster, we were able to free it and do an oil change, however we only got 3/4 quart of oil out, and now after the oil change it'll crank, but won't fire up. Anyone have any ideas? I have spark and fuel. Haven't done a compression test yet.

it'll run on 3/4 qt but it's pumping a lot of air too.
most likely just boiled off, i have this issue on hot days.
watch your oil level daily and immediately any time your legs can't stand to be next to the hot engine.

The '88 I picked up burnt a piston, but still ran. search for "i hear you" and 2 similar posts will come up. mines earlier. had low compression around 106 psi. but still ran.
