the wrist pins are a very sticky point for frozen motors. sometimes they
do more to hold things back than the rings / pistons to cylinders. Squirt
a lot of blaster in there , and in each cylinder. squirt it around the top
and bottom of the cylinders . wait a few days for it to migrate. i will be
doing the exact same thing to 2 motors soon , a 66 95hp , and a 64
greenbrier 110hp that are very rusty. in fact this greenbrier i am parting out
(in my spare? time ) is the rustiest vehicle i have ever parted out. even
the transmission case is looking very bad.it is a bundle of white corrosion
under there .I recently bought a harbor freight blowtorch designed to use
on a propane tank for shrink wrapping boats , hoping to heat the heads on
some of the bad motors i have. maybe that big flame will help. I will be
jacking it up , and removing the powertrain soon. i have never seen a corvair
so rusty , that the forward motor mounts fell out of the crossmember , and
the axles are all that hold the motor in...and only 53,000 miles on it. i
hope (small chance) the bearings and gears in the differential survived. front
steering linkage looks good so far. i will be posting pictures of this
project on the
cnycorvair.com website soon.
