Heres one way to unseize an engine, I know it works on single cyl engines but should work on any type. First you take an old spark plug and break all the porceline off and out of the plug, then cut off the ground tab which is above where the electrode was. Now you will have just the threads with a hole all the way through it. Take a grease zert / grease nipple and weld it to the top of the plug. First soalk each cylinder in penetrating oil over night, then thread the modified plug it in to the engine, put a grease gun on the nipple and pump grease into the cylinder. Make sure you do a good weld job so the grease doesnt escape from the cylinder. Make sure you use this on a cylinder which is mid stroke, not TDC or BDC. The pressure provided by the grease gun should be enough to pop the piston loose and it applies even pressure to the top of the piston as well which reduces the chance of breaking a ring, at least on the one cylinder you are using it on. Good luck, C.O. Michetti.

Will transmission fluid unseize a 2007 dodge charger engine?
If the engine has seized, then it's pretty much done for. Transmission fluid, or engine oil, will do nothing to solve that. Transmission fluid goes in the transmission - which if that is seized, again - you're in trouble. The only way to get around replacement is to disassemble the seized component (engine, tranny, whatever) and replace the seized components and anything else that was damaged as a result of the seizing. sorry.

I wouldn't bother. If it's seized from sitting, the rings are probably shot. If it seized from overheating, the rings and cylinder walls are most likely shot. If you do want to attempt, I have heard OLD break fluid works wonders.

Here's something you can try. Might or might not work. Take out the spark plug and put in some "Marvel Mystery Oil". Let it sit for a day or so, then try to work the engine back and forth to break it loose. I did it with a car and it worked after about three days.
How do you unseize an air compressor?
To unseize an air compressor, first ensure it's unplugged for safety. Remove the compressor's head and inspect the piston and cylinder for rust or debris; applying penetrating oil can help loosen stuck parts. Manually turn the motor shaft with a wrench, using gentle force to avoid damage. If necessary, clean or replace any damaged components before reassembling and testing the compressor.
Will wd40 help unseize small engine?
The simple answer is: Yes. It can free up the engine and I'm sure it wont cause any harm. I've used this method several times in the past and recommend trying WD-40 first. But really any penetrating oil will work just fine. Heck, I've even been successful with used motor oil! But I do not recommend using that because there are fine particulate in it that may cause damage.
How do you unseize an aluminum bolt?
To unseize an aluminum bolt, first, apply a penetrating oil to the joint and let it sit for at least 15-30 minutes to help loosen the corrosion. Gently tap the bolt head with a hammer to help break the bond while being careful not to damage it. Use a wrench or socket to turn the bolt counterclockwise; if it resists, repeat the oil application and tapping process. If necessary, applying heat with a heat gun can also help expand the metal and break the bond.
