I'll tell you this story to my own embarrassment... Unknown to me the gasket on the oil pan didn't seal when I changed the oil. After 3 months of sitting, I fired her up. Oil pressure light on the dash. I thought maybe the pressure sensor was stuck and I'd let it run for 30 seconds to see if it went out. 30 seconds later she seized up and now I can't get it to bar over with the starter.
I can't get a breaker bar on the front of the crank easily. I'd have to remove the radiator, maybe the fan, and/or make a tool to do the job.
Does anyone want to give me their guess as to whether I need to do a full rebuild? My last-ditch effort I was thinking about towing it across the parking lot, putting it in 5th, and dropping the clutch to try to bar it over. Do I have a better chance of breaking it free or am I just gonna do more damage?
I'm open to ideas. Empty the oil and fill it to the brim with pb blaster for a few days? Crack the injectors and try to bar it over?
Thanks for the advice. I'm not ready to give up on her yet. If I have to tow it somewhere to get it rebuilt I will.
