Default FS- 86 n/a motor- may need some work.
may need a rebuild as it has some oil passage blockage and the bottom end, cambox and balance shafts may be locked up tighter than a drum. this poor guy only had 250k or so on it, so sad to see it dye so young. I cant even remove the lifters from the cambox- tried w/ a large pair of channel locks and they wont budge...geez.

Damn what is that gunk? Looks like somebody poured a bottle of gorilla glue in there.

Just pour some seafoam on it and let it sit. It will be fine.

yeah its sodium silicate- even w/ the pistons out and the engine main truss removed the crank will not turn. Oil pump is locked up solid as well. She's toasted. Got four good Fest trophies for next year though!

Start the bidding at $400 - its rare to see a motor preserved so well under a layer of glass.

The guy that came up with the way to make sure the cash for clunkers cars would never run again was a genius. No good parts on that block.
