Everybody has their favorite penetrating oil, but I like P’Blaster. Start by shooting oil down into the cylinder through the spark plug hole, and don’t be shy – use a lot of the stuff. Wear goggles in case the penetrating oil sprays back and hits you in the eye. If you have the patience for it, spray some in every day for about two weeks, followed by gently tapping on the cylinder wall with a hammer handle. This sets up vibrations that help the oil penetrate between the rings and the cylinder wall. After soaking the engine for a while try rotating the crankshaft. If you’ve been patient, and if the engine wasn’t too badly rusted, it will usually break free and rotate. If it doesn’t, hit it with more penetrating oil, and make sure you use enough. I’ve found that about half a can per cylinder is right. If it still doesn’t rotate after four weeks of daily treatment, it’s time to resort to more serious measures.

Once the rings are installed, coat the piston and the cylinder with clean engine oil. Double check that there isn’t any dirt or grit in the cylinder befores installing the piston. Use a ring compressor (a large hose clamp will do just as well) to compress the rings into their grooves before inserting the piston into the cylinder. Don’t force a piston into the cylinder with the rings sticking out of the grooves. This will break the rings. Gently shove the piston into place, and then install the connecting rod bearings and end cap, making sure you didn’t get any dirt on the bearings. With everything back together try rotating the engine – it should rotate freely, and it will feel so good you won’t stop until your arm falls off. [links]

One may also ask, how do you Unseize a snow blower motor? A seized snowblower engine causes your snowblower to become completely useless due to its inability to run. Fixing a seized engine requires removing its spark plug, draining the motor of oil and gasoline and inserting engine release/anti-seize solution directly into the engine block.

An air leak is a dangerous condition because it can lean-out the air/fuel mixture and cause the piston to heat up and eventually melt. Most air leaks occur at gasket joints and crankshaft seals on 2-cycle engines. The piston in this photo has seizure marks over the ring end and 180 degrees from the gap.

The following tips will serve as a general guideline for fixing a drowned outboard engine. here

The process for salvaging an engine and the efforts involved in getting it running again (also known as pickling an engine) make tremendous sea stories. It also provides several lessons for those who have not yet had the experience — or suffered the embarrassment — of retrieving and restarting a drowned engine. here

Many boaters would certainly agree that one of the most character-building situations in recreational boating is dealing with an engine that has slipped its mount and needs recovery from the deep.

If do-it-yourself efforts to clean and restart the engine are unsuccessful, involving a professional outboard engine mechanic would be a prudent course to take, especially a mechanic who is qualified on the make and type of the submerged engine. The mechanic can focus specific product knowledge and experience on the problem and utilize tools and diagnostic equipment to provide a solid, fact-based prognosis about the chances of saving the engine. Likewise, a marina or outboard engine repair shop would likely have a test tank or at least a 55-gallon drum in which to test an engine after recovery and cleaning. [links]

Salvaging an engine and getting it running again happens more frequently than boaters might admit. Understanding the basics of submerged engine retrieval and restarting, particularly with modern engines, can make the experience much less challenging and more straightforward. [links]
