Hello all , I was phoning for a friend about a P5B and the nice man said " Free to a good home" I was hooked . My car has a very odd reg so he is noe known as Viny .
Can a starter motor that has been left for decades seize and stop a V8 turning by hand . I have the rad out and a 15/16 socket on the crank with a 2 ft bar . no turn . In neutral , also put some engine oil in the bores 4 days ago.Water pump turns ok also alternator.
Starter motor is unlikely to be engaged with the flywheel as it only engages when being used. More likely the pistons in the bores. I would put something like diesel in and leave for a few weeks!
more to do with when power is supplied to the(starter) motor
ie inertia is spinning as it engages /meshes
pre engaged meshes before power is applied(solenoid has a secondary pull which closes the contacts to power the motor)
TH classic Heritage A bit more info on the wheels, I am being asked £400 for these , not a clue , what they cost new or what they are worth. Any thoughts welcome, cheers.
Yes Wicklow ,I miss heard the PO Grandson a few weeks ago, just checked some old paper work PO was a Doctor in Wicklow. Don`t have all the paperwork yet.
