Strange as this may sound, about a month ago, I pulled my carbs and manifold off to rebuild over the winter. At that time, i did get anti freeze in the exhaust ports, but immedietely pulled the plugs, and spun the engine over to clear it. Afterwards, I sprayed lubricant into the spark plug holes, and into the exhaust ports.
Things being what they are, I had to put it up for a little over a month. Now, the engine is seized, or so it seems! Has this ever happened to anyone else? Tomorrow I am going to pull the fan, and put a breaker bar on the balancer pully, but am afraid of snapping the bolt off.
Does not seem to be the clutch as it is in neutral, and I would think by depressing the clutch pedal, it should start.
I may try putting it in gear and rocking it a bit first as I hear the clutch may freeze to the flywheel.
Anyone have similar problems, or suggestions? i've never seen an engine seize up that quickly, although it has been raining here much. Still, the car is in under cover.
