95 GTX Wont turn over

[ironmike]

Found my problem. Looks like it took a drink, cylinders and pistons rusty.
Hard to turn over with pipe wrench. Got some penetrating oil in there and started to work up and down. Seems to be getting better, can feel some rust on cylinder walls. Will hone cylinders and keep lubricating. Hopefully get it to where the starter can turn it over and get in running. I dont think there was enough water to do any damage down below.

i'd soak the cylinders, then try to fire it up.

 

[ironmike]

Soak with what?

 

[seadooya]

pb-blaster, atf....

 

[ironmike]

Its cranking over now, but seems like alot of crap coming out of the cylinders
Won't fire. What next?????

 

[my787]

i would do a new top end for $260 but that's just me...

 

[ironmike]

i think the compression is good..........I just need to crank with plugs out and let all the crap fly out of the engine. I really hear alot of splashing when I had the cylinder head off and turned it over

 

[ironmike]

Is there a drain plug on this engine????

 

[seadooya]

no drain plug. fill/pour some 2-stroke oil into cylinders, and some down the carbs..(remove airbox assy), to re-lube the case/cylinders, then try firing it, after expelling everything...leave gas selector "off".

 

[ironmike]

Did that, would not fire. I think theres still lots of water in the botttom end

 

[seadooya]

you not trying to fire it, just "coating" everything.

 

[ironmike]

How do I get all that water out then?

 

[seadooya]

remove sparkplugs, ground the plug wires to the post, then crank away, till nuth'n shooting out of plug holes.

 

[ironmike]

When I had the head off and cranked it I sure could hear alot of splashing.
This may take a while

 

[seadooya]

yup........once it does "grab/fire up", dont try to give it throttle, let it idle, then "EAXE" into throttle. probably need to remove/clean, the spark plugs a few times, til it eventually "grabs".

 

[ironmike]

Should I hook up the hose to the engine?
