Hello to All. I resumed(took back) the works on my Belle P5 cut 3 liters. The engine being blocqué, I try in vain of him(it) freed before a complete dismantling. I have déculassé, 6 cylinders are very appropriate(clean), but the stuck pistons. I tried of the WD40 and the height of the engine in fuel oil (30 liters), but I arive not no to unstick the engine nevertheless. If you had this problem and find an idea to unstick him(it), I am for your listening. By avnce, Thank you. Cordialement, Patrick

I should have paid more attention to my French lessons at school!
I believe it's seized? Patrick, fill the cyls with ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) and leave it alone for several weeks. Then try and turn it over with a big spanner on the harmonic balancer bolt (bottom engine pulley) on the front of the engine. Be very gentle

Last time I had one of these engines that was seized the only way of freeing it was to strip it top and bottom and tap the pistons out with a block of wood and a mallet
