LOL, acetone is fingernail polish remover. Ladies use the stuff in the house w/o ventilation all the time. Maybe OSHA needs to audit the Mustang Ranch for workplace violations??

Tim, The PEL for acetone is 1000ppm. That's very high for a solvent. The MSDS doesn't say anything about liver damage. Get the facts first. Now, you can use acetone for you huffing without too many worries. Look at these for Kroil: Severely Hydrotreated Petroleum Distillates 5 mg/m3 OSHA PEL 5 mg/m3 ACGIH TLV 10 mg/m3 ACGIH TLV-STEL Light Petroleum Distillates 100 ppm OSHA PEL 100 ppm ACGIH TLV- Aliphatic Alcohol 150 ppm OSHA PEL 100 ppm ACGIH TLV- Aliphatic Alcohol 50 ppm OSHA PEL 50 ppm ACGIH TLV- Glycol Ether 50 ppm OSHA PEL 20 ppm ACGIH TLV- Plus, there is a statement in it's MSDS about liver damage!! |

That crank bolt has its limits. A crankshaft socket is a cool tool to have; even more so on a RH engine.
I filtered(Summit) ford/5.8-351/small blk windsor so double check the part app; and guys...why do they list a 5.8-352? |

silver, You might do a search... There have been several people who've freed up their engines, but more just from sitting than rust. I think most do some penetrating oil (acetone and trans fluid are recommended often) in the spark plug holes, let it sit for a day, add more pentrating oil. after a few days, you may be able to turn the engine by the crank pulley and a breaker bar. I would anticipate having to do a complete rebuild, My guess is that the cyls and rings have "become one". If you are not handy with engines, an new one might be better in the long run...but will definitely set you back a bit on the front end. Check with Jody Seal at FL inboards... he does replacements and may be able to get you a low hour removal. I believe Kroundy is still looking for an engine too, if you don't want to mess with the old one.

Hello, all. Just bought a 1998 Ski Nautique with the GT40 EFI. Has low hours, however the previous owner for some reason did not bother to pull the drain plug when storing in open weather. The boat, consequently, filled with water submerging the engine up to about the sparkplugs. We are trying to spin the engine by spinning the main bolt on the main pulley. There is no rotation, however, I suppose it could be stiff from sitting? There is no evidence that water entered the crankcase(No milky oil), but not sure about heads. Already pulled the rusted starter. Does anyone have any thoughts on either freeing the engine, or finding a new one? Thanks in advanced for help!
Jake. |
