HOW TO USE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENGINE RELEASE
Engine corrosion makes dismantling an engine that has seized up
during storage a drag. Engine Release dissolves corrosion and will free
up your seized pistons, or your money back.
Before
you
order Engine Release, check the requirements for your project to
ensure you order enough kits to solve your engine problem.

type of equipment.
Any engine-powered lawn and garden maintenance equipment with a seized engine due to poor storage conditions can benefit from Engine Release.
(How much per hour does your local lawn mower engine repair shop charge? $50+ probably!)
Engine Release also works on:
For home and garden engine corrosion applications, ONE KIT is all that's required for small engine repair up to 25HP.
Cars,
motorcycles, light trucks
and off-road vehicles
For all inline automotive seized engine projects, including motorcycle engine repair, use HALF A KIT per cylinder.
For freeing a seized engine in an ATV, skidoo, dirt bike etc., we also recommend HALF A KIT per cylinder.
V-style/slant engines powering cars and light trucks require HALF A KIT per cylinder if the engine is out of the vehicle, or ONE KIT per cylinder if the engine is still in the vehicle and the photos below will show you why:
| Porche, Volkswagon, and Continental horizontally opposed engines require minimum one kit per cylinder. |

These photos for demonstration purposes show you a cylinder bore in a V-style engine. Note 4 oz of Engine Release doesn't reach the top of the piston because the cylinder is inclined photo shows the actual level of the Engine Release as when the engine is installed in the vehicle. A full Engine Release kit is required to flood the cylinder and reach the high side of the piston. If the same engine is loose or on a rotating stand blocking or rotating the engine so that one bank of cylinder bores are vertical to the ground allows you to work on them in a position thats allows the Engine Release to flow evenly around the piston crown requiring much less Engine Release to do the Job. There is no high side that stays dry.
Photo shows what 1 oz of Engine Release looks like when the same cylinder bore is vertical. Treat one bank at a time. Letting the Engine Release soak in for a week then either rotate the engine or block it up to treat the opposite cylinder bank the same way.
For seized marine engine repair projects, including two-stroke engine repair and four-stroke engine repair for outboard motors, we recommend ONE KIT for engines of less than 25 HP.
Use HALF A KIT per cylinder for engines above 25 HP.
Inline gas inboard motors require HALF A KIT per cylinder.
Inline diesel inboard motors require ONE KIT per cylinder.
For V-style engines, you'll need HALF A KIT per cylinder if the engine is out of the boat and ONE KIT per cylinder if it’s still on board.
Agricultural equipment, including seized engines in tractors, combines, and swathers require HALF A KIT per cylinder for inline gas engines and ONE KIT per cylinder for inline diesel engines.
Engine corrosion in V-style
gas or diesel engines: such engines require HALF A KIT per cylinder if the engine is
removed from the machine and ONE KIT per cylinder if the engine is
still in the unit.
Horizontal engines (JD type) require minimum 1-1/2 kits per cylinder and 800 Series engines require 2 kits per cylinder.
Engine Release is not just for saving small engines. It works in all industrial and construction applications where engine corrosion has occured.
For inline gas engines, we recommend HALF A KIT per cylinder.
For inline diesel engines, we recommend ONE KIT per cylinder.
For V-style gas or diesel engines in construction or industrial machinery, we recommend ONE KIT per cylinder if the engine is still in the machine, or HALF A KIT if it’s been removed from the machine.
