As title suggests motor is seized. Drained oil and found some shavings. Would like to get it pulled but it's seized. Flexplate no budge.
Should i throw it into reverse or drive and rock it back and forth? How much more damage can i actually do? Is there a way to salvage the block? All suggestions welcome, if more info is needed let me know. First deisel.
All glow plugs pulled cylinders soaking in pb blaster. Cylinder 3 tip busted but was expected when I threw test light on it and didn't light up.
THANK YOU ALL!!
Thanks, that will probably be my plan of attack. No transmission jack engine hoist or stand...lol might be a little while.
I'll Try and find some treads on weight ratings of hoist and stand for a 6.9+ torque converter. Don't want it to bend.
Is there any hope of freeing it by rocking it?
What could be binding it?
P.o. stated it clunk for 10 seconds before dying and not being able to turn again. Rod?
If the block MAY not be salvageable I don't mind doing what I can to free it up if possible. Thanks again.
A rod could have ventilated the block which would convert it into a boat anchor. It could be a spun bearing based on you clunking description. That will lead to a crankshaft needing replaced. You won't know until you pull the pan.
I have a question. How many cans of PB Blaster does it take to fix a bent rod?
Fully dressed these engines weigh close to 1200 Lbs.
Each head weighs ~85 Lbs.

You need a 2000 Lb engine stand.
A 1 ton engine hoist. Don't get the folding style, they have a short reach.
To pull the transmission, you need at least 27" clearance to get the trans. out from under, if it's on a trans jack. The trans weighs 350 Lbs.
Your best bet is to take the hood off, radiator out, grill off, then pull the engine and trans as a unit. You need two people to do that, hook the engine on the lifting tabs so it will tilt a little as you pull it.

Super busy with other projects, damn things on the back burner...can't wait till I have time to tear into it need to free up space and projects. What's the typical cause of loud knocking before seizing? What's the best case scenario here?
