    What is best penetrant to try and free frozen rusted piston?

    Nope, same. Nothing on front same as yours. Tried Kroil no help so last hope I boiled some PB blaster and poured it down the 2 cylinders. Setting for a week now and haven't tried to see if it will work. Will update later.. If it doesn't work then more disassembly. The guy I bought it off of...

    What is best penetrant to try and free frozen rusted piston?

    Tried the starter hole can't budge it but can only get a bit of leverage on it that's why I want to try the front if I can but have to take the pump off first so I can to the bolt try and move the crank from the front. Guess I'll see what happens and go from there. Nothing ever goes easy..

    What is best penetrant to try and free frozen rusted piston?

    Just the spark plug hole on the G159 gas engine 580ck. Don't think I can. Going to also pull front pump off to get at the bolt head for the balancer or whatever to get some leverage to work some pressure on it but try not to bend or break anything. No penetrant recipe though?...

    What is best penetrant to try and free frozen rusted piston?

    So what is the ratio and where do I get Jet A at? Can you pass me the secret recipe?...lol If I were to put, say a cup of penetrant down the cylinder, and put around 80# or more air pressure on it for a while hours/day/days/week I wonder if that would help force the penetrant. If there are no...

    What is best penetrant to try and free frozen rusted piston?

    My 580ck gasoline engine is locked up. I had put some MMO down the cylinders about 2 months ago. So I tried to crank, nope froze. I borrowed an inspection scope and last piston is frozen, two look great, one not too bad the oil made it through. I can still see oil around the top of the bad one...

    580ck battery 31T AcDelco

    Would this battery work on a 1971 580ck gasoline engine and no power shuttle? I have enough rebates to get it for free..you know sort of. It is a threaded stud instead of post and I'll have to change the battery terminals of course if it will work good or not..

    580ck gasoline tank removal question

    Just bought my neighbor's 1971 580ck backhoe with a gasoline engine. It has sat for 6-7 years. Is there any simple way to remove the gas tank? Can't lift it out because of the two line and loader bar across the top of the hood and tank. Can't get it up high enough to clear the 4 tank studs...
