You can also use Marvel Mystery Oil (comes in red bottles) for this, PB blaster/WD-40 is good and Kerosene works as well. Unless the engine us super-stuck, DO NOT use gasoline or a solvent like product unless absolutely necessary, as they do not provide any lubricity. | You can also use Marvel Mystery Oil (comes in red bottles) for this, PB blaster/WD-40 is good and Kerosene works as well.

The 1954 Flood and Hurricane in New England , many cars were submerged. My Grand father and another fella got these cars cheap and I remember helping as a kid they drained the oil out and put in warm water and Tide soap and ran the engines at an idle for an hour or so. then they drained the water and quickly filled the crank case with kerosine and idled the car for another hour or so. After this they put in regular oil and ran the car as a usual car. many cars were sold this way and I remember people driving the cars with kitchen chairs bolted to the drivers floor while they looked for seats in a junk yard. | The 1954 Flood and Hurricane in New England , many cars were submerged.
