I don't think you're going to be able to rebuild an engine that's sat without oil for 20 years...after being flooded.

...cot damn, people were dumb 20 years ago. Had they not figured out how to convert dinosaurs into oil yet? I guess you probably couldn't just google a DIY back then tho. Had to take Noah's ark to the library.

 

Let me get this straight. This 300 mile car was in a flood, and salvage totaled. All fluids were drained, not refilled, then it sat rusting inside and out for 20 years.

This seems like a worst case scenario.

Stuff that woulda been easy fixes 20 years ago are all lost causes now.

 

I wanna see some pictures.

 

It's a Honda... fill it with oil and fluids, and start her up!

Maybe all the rust and old water will scrape and flush off after a couple oil flushes.

 

Lol, Its seized, according to his post bruv.

I have un-seized a H22 and B16 that had been flooded by just using a breaker bar and my massive arms. But not after sitting for mf'ing 20 years!

Idk what whomever drained this out was thinking of.

 

Money pit.

 

Maybe tow-strap it to a big diesel truck, put her in gear and pull it until free/unseized. It's prolly F'ed anyway, so might as well try.

 

Whats the worst that could happen

 

Lmk when and where, brother

 

Trans, Diff, Axles, clutch, driveshaft, snapped tow cable/mount points...

That being said, please do it and video. This thread has a lot of growth potential. I can see it.
