Engine seized from sitting
« on: May 31, 2024, 08:59:19 PM »
I am back with some 500s this time, I am working on a 1989? 500 that is locked solid, owner sed it was fine but has been sitting, it has an iron cylinder liner and i can see rust and water in the exhaust port, I reckon the liner is sitting too low in the cylinder and the gasket cant do its thing or is it possible coolent is leaking down the side due to a crack or a hole in the alloy jug?
Anyone come across this? I will pull it apart and look further soon, I dont like the cast iron liners in the plated cylinders.
