The original subject was "Unseizing an engine".

Un-seizing a seized engine seems to be a popular topic, but almost all the posting I’ve seen are more entertaining than useful. I’ve found only one website and one product that takes seized engines seriously. Engine Release solved my problem.

 Re: Unseizing an engine with Coke Cola in reply to SeizedEngine, 03-07-2008 07:19:41  
Here's what you should know
Don't! The main ingredient in coke is sugar, the same main ingredient as caramel. Caramel happens when you heat up sugar. When it’s hot it’s just sticky, not good on valve stems and piston rings, it doesn’t just disappear when you run your engine it coats everything. The really bad part starts when you stop the engine and things cool off then the burned cola residue stiffens up really seizing your engine. Using coke in an engine to free it up is just like putting sugar in your gas tank. Anybody ever try that?

 He's fishing for sales... in reply to SeizedEngine, 03-07-2008 07:19:41  
This guy is more than likely the guy that owns that Engine Release, OR he is a salesman for the company. He is at least in the same town as the engine release web site.

Depends on how bad it's seized and how come. If it's seized due to overheating or no oil you likely won't save it. If it's seized due to lack of use and/or water getting inside the motor while it was sitting up, pour each cylinder full of Marvel Mystery Oil, wait a few days, put a big wrench on the crank and turn it. Leave the spark plugs off. Put a hot battery on it. Turn it over a few times until most the oil has been pushed out. Reinstall the spark plugs. Crank it.
