Engine Release customer testimonials

Seized engine success stories! All of these testimonials are from REAL Engine Release customers. We have left them in their original form to retain their authenticity.

My name is Roger Palmer I publish a weekly newsletter "Mr. Fuji's Workshop" Our readership is made up of owners of vintage Japanese Motorcycles. I used Engine Release to unseize a Kawaski KZ-750 which had been sitting under a tree for a long period of time. The Engine Release instructions required that I inject 1 oz of Engine Release into each cylinder everyday until all was used ... that was 4 days. Then I was to leave it set for a week. A week went by so with success in the air and Murphy of Town it was time for the moment of truth, well the impact wrench got it to turn over about 20 degree but the snap on socket gave up the ghost so I got another socket but that was all she wrote.. so I grabed a breaker bar and gave it a couple of quick Yanks and whoopee it turned over. Went to the kick starter and turned it over freeing up more each time!

To complete the saga I tried to start it with kick starter and it actually fired a couple a times on the right cylinder but nothing on the left. I didn't do a compression test but I have the feeling the intake valve on that cylinder is stuck in the open position, your product worked quite well, "if I ever need to free up an engine that seized during storage Engine Release would be at the top of my list".

I received the order of engine release earlier this month, the project I'm working on is a 1958 5.5 hp Johnson outboard motor I purchased it primarily for the gas tank which I needed for another motor I have. The engine was seized up tight and after doing some internet searches I came across your site. Anyhow I followed the directions on your site, I put  probably an ounce and a half equally into each cylinder twice a day for 3 or 4 days, till I was almost out of engine release. I went on a short trip and came back five days later and using a breaker bar exerting very little effort the engine turned over. I put the rest of the engine release into the cylinders (appox 1 1/2 ounces) now the engine is totally freed up.. It goes without saying that this has been one the best investments in a product I have ever made..

I have talked with my dad.  He has been on the road and didn't get to it as quickly as he hoped.  The product worked but took a little more application than recommended.  Bottom line, it worked.  Dad said he WOULD recommend the product.

I received your product and put it to use on a seized Nissan (Tohatsu) 2.5hp outboard.  It hadn't been started in a couple of years and was seized up when I finally tried to use it.
I disassembled the engine cover and carefully stored the parts, taking advantage of this opportunity to clean everything well.  I positioned the engine on my workbench with the cylinder head up, removed the spark plug and applied your product.  Since the cylinder was so small it did not require all that much.  I let it soak for about a week, adding a bit more as needed to keep moisture visible on top of the cylinder.  I replaced the spark plug while soaking.
After a week, I was able to rotate the prop by hand, but not all the way.  I rocked it back and forth a little and applied more.  A few days later, I was able to completely turn the engine by hand.
I reassembled everything, added fresh gas/oil mixture, and it started right up!
Best $20 I've ever spent on anything marine-related.

I tried your product on a the seized engine in my 1929 Model A Ford. Nothing else, including standing on the hand crank, prayer, more sincere prayer, screaming or cursing would make it budge. Your product worked like a charm and I even have a little left over, which I intend to sell to any of my forlorn friends who develops the same problem in order to recoup my original investment. This sure beat the advice of an old Iowa farmer who told me to remove the head and beat on the pistons with a sledge hammer and a 2x4 until they were freed up. Thanks for making such a great product.

Regards,

Ken Wiseman

I writing in regards to my purchase of (2) containers of Engine Release. I put your product in my seized engine about a month ago. I did not have a decent battery at the time to do justice to your product. I purchased a 3000 amp truck battery pack. (The engine already had a Power Master starter on it.) Even though the engine sat with Engine Release for a month or so, it freed up after a couple clicks at the starter. The engine had been seized for at least (8) years. I am elated with the outcome! I read about your product in Vintage Truck. I will be buying more Engine Release in the future. I have a

1946 Case VAC tractor which has been seized for quite a while. Thank you so much for an excellent product! Sincerely, Joe Jacques

Engine Release works! I had all but given up on the seized engine on my pressure washer, but a few ounces of Engine Release, 5 days and an oil change and the unit is back in service. thanks!

"I had four outboard engines in storage and I went and treated all 4 with Engine Release and freed up all 4 within 30 minutes but the real surprise was an Evinrude 100 HP, 1972 which freed up easily (That's 36 years old) I would say that that's pretty impressive in my book."

P.S: I also like how quick you got it out to me.--- Thanks Enrnie

I HAVE A 1960 ROAD GRADER WITH A CAT ENGINE, IT HAD SAT FOR 5 YEARS AND HAD GOT WATER THRU THE EXAUST AND FILLED TWO CYLINDERS FULL OF WATER. I PUT ENGINE RELEASE IN ALL FOUR CYLINDERS AND LET IT SIT FOR SEVEN DAYS, ON DAY SEVEN I TOOK MY ¾ IMPACT AND PUT IT ON BALANCER NUT, AND GOT IT TO MOVE A ¼ OF A INCH LET SIT FOR TWO MORE DAYS GOT IT LOOSEN UP. ENGINE IS FINE NOW. THANKS FOR THE PRODUCT, IT WORKS GREAT

I'm more than happy to say that, your product work excellent! I used on a 45hp gale outboard, that had been sitting for about 3 yrs. After the 3 days of pouring and waiting, the motor with a little persuasion from a 1/2" ratchet, let go. Thanks for the opportunity.

Harrold Showalter

I have a 1930 John Deere model GP that sat for a year and moisture must have gotten into in and locked it up. After putting a container of Engine Release into each cylinder and letting set for several days, I was able to get the the pistons to move. Now everything is working fine. I have recently completely restored the tractor and am happy with the results of the Engine Release. Thanks again.

I have tried the product out and am satisfied with its performance.

Hi. Believe it worked fine. After 3 days treatment product was still visible in spark plug hole and could not move it with starter cord. However, removed front housing and put my torque wrench on flywheel nut and it took only a slight nudge with that and it was free.
