Carbon locked?

I think my 12a has got the Carbon lock only because it ran fine until I tried starting it when it was real cold out. It started and ran for a couple of seconds till my fuel pump crapped out then it stalled. I tried to restart right away to prevent this from happening, cranking it but after the 5th time it just locked. I poured about half a bottle of ATF in the intake ports and squirted some in the plug holes also but still no luck. I have a 3ft breaker bar on the pulley trying to turn it in both directions but nothing. Its been sitting with the ATF for 4 days now and to day I removed the header and all the ATF came out of the exhaust ports. What should I do? Any tips or should I start to pull the motor out because its now junk? Please help! By the way I was going to try the Power foam but Napa says that they dont carry Ams oil products?

Thanks, Ed

Powerfoam is the way to go but not all NAPA's carry Amsoil products. Try contacting www.amsoil.com and ask them where the closest dealer is. Good luck!
