WE TRIED EVERYTHING! Freeing a Rusted-Out Engine

When your rusty old engine is seized and locked up tighter than a bank on Sunday, how do you get it moving again? ‪@PowerNationTV‬ put every possible remedy to the test, from commercial products to everyday household items, including some recommendations from viewers. Check out what worked (was it penetrating oil, rust removers, or homebrew concoctions? ) and what it took to finally get it moving.

Is there something we didn't try that you think will work? Leave us a comment and let us know.

[@neilchilders5442]

Please don't ever make a video using that crappy I-phone camera effect. Oh yeah, give Kroil a try. I think ya'll will be very pleased with it.

[@erichildreth7562]

I agree please don't use this crappy narrow split screen stuff. It sucks.

[@gabrielbeaucage189]

Yeah, ditto on NEVER using that sh*t camera view ever again!

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

Yes, please! It’s annoying and hard on the eyes.

[@frankglasgow]

Agreed. This is not tiktok.

[@kirklandfunz]

Its bc they filmed it to work on tiktok too its gotta be viable for all playforms these days

[@therealswarvey]

There's a special part of Hell reserved for people who record in portrait

[@hogslayr2703]

I came to the right place. I'm going to try to restart my dad's 1960 F100 that I parked about 20 years ago. My dad bought it here in town brand new in 1959. It was running when I parked it. This is going to be fun!

[@dexterplant778]

Thanks for all the suggestions, I've got a 67 vett 327 that's locked up with rust, I'd like to save it if possible, I'll use these ideas in hope of a favorable outcome.

[@nathanielwheatley8633]

Is there more on this engine series?

[@GentlemanJD]

Love how y'all covered the seafoam and WD-40 names

[@MichaelOKeefe2009]

The Ford straight-6 has met it's match!

[@outlooker7]

i have quite had a few engines like this and my go to is apple cider vinager... works the best .. v8.. fill one side row of pistons set to sitting up on engine stand with apple cider vinager for 24hrs then turn the other side row of pistons to up and fill those with apple cider vinager and let sit for 24 hrs .. now you will be able to work crank back and forth using a flex bar and crank snout socket or pipe wrench with a rag wrapped on the snout so not to damage it and it will break free and clean the rust off the bores with the rings as you turn it over...

[@wdxwm300]

acetone and atf works for me

[@johnosborne1009]

My grandfather used aircraft oil and iodine And let it set overnight.
You guys maybe I'll try that next time

[@piccolocci]

Little dab’ll do ya, proceeds to spray half a can in there 😂

[@Inthefoxhole]

I have 2 chevy small block that I tries it all.Still stuck

[@outlooker7]

apple cider vinager soaking 24 hrs per side sitting straight up and full works wonders

[@oldfordman68]

You didn't use my concoction to soak it, maybe next time straight vinegar let sit 24 hours followed by diesel fuel same 24 hours difference being o do it with the head still on filling the crank case completely

[@papergatorzfedducca7998]

How do you fill the crankcase?

[@87formula]

Where is the next video - thought I saw a still frame of you guys doing an electrolytic dip on the FB page...?

[@markpadilla9429]

Is there a version that is full screen for grown ups?

[@1mattbutch]

Just make sure you don’t mix that brake fluid with any strong oxidizers…. 🔥

[@adamfcs1131]

Saw a guy clean all the bores once then boil oil on a stove and pour it in to the cylinders.

[@aaronhollingsworth6808]

White vinegar will do the trick

[@CZ-kz7ug]

Wonder if chem dip carb cleaner would work

[@craftyukraine]

It’s just an acetone.

[@stevehenry2142]

I use a gallon of Kroil

[@anthonyk1234]

Great video 😎👍🏻

[@GentlemanJD]

You showed this on the 2nd channel couple days ago come on

[@VinceGuzman]

@powernation2 - how did the rusted engine came out

[@nicholasarrigo3733]

the works towel bowel cleaner will work for this

[@jasonandholliehuffman8291]

👍👍👍👍👍nice video. Love the old inline 6's.

[@bradleycrenshaw6778]

Instead of Clint singing "Just Killing Time" he should sing "Time is killing my Ford"

[@mjlsx376]

Looks like the rain got into the block

[@powernation2]

We believe the truck was in a flood

[@superpug666]

What happenned to marc?

[@BRIANLASSITER-tr9di]

The video looks just fine. People griping about it are just not happy unless they're upset about something. Fun vid.

[@jameshudson2092]

30% vinegar

[@melchristian8876]

[@ish3the90dpluto8]
