Engine full of fuel and seized up

<< < (13/50) > >>

PJM47:
Yes will turn completely revolutions in either direction

Trigger:
I can not come up with anything else, i would have to see it up close and personal to see what is going on.
I would say, pop the engine out and throw it in the car and bring it to my workshop but, it is not that easy to just pop a CB750 SOHC engine out.

K2-K6:
Worth pulling the sump off and having a look up in there.  It's pretty easy as doesn't disturb anything.

See if you've any "spare parts" lying in there.

Oddly I was in your area 3 weeks ago to collect a tent I bought on the bay of E, and was followed by an F2 along the old A3.

If you can't take up Trigger's offer I could come down to have a look with you at some point.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
This post is a real mystery it will be a revelation when the cause is found. :-\

MrDavo:
We should have a sweepstake.

No idea what, but given the circumstances in which it happened, my money is on something, maybe in the gearbox, being bent, which isn't going to unbend itself. Maybe it wants to be in an 'impossible' gear.

Unfortunately the only way to find out what, and fix it, is to dismantle. When my crank went up the pictures I got my engine out in an afternoon (with help with the lifting), you can then turn it upside down and split the cases without touching the top end, if I remember right. If not someone will be along soon to call me an idiot.

Then K2-K6 will tell me how long Honda allowed for an engine removal....
