You should read the article on "decarbonizing a rotary". The second half of the article deals with unsiezing a siezed rotary engine, much as I had to do when I started working on Roxy - my 5-year sitting project car.

It's link can be found in the FAQ, which you should always read before making posts because it covers TONS of commonly encountered problems.

"Q. My engine is carbon locked, what can I do?
A. vipernicus42 has written an excellent article about Decarbonizing A Rotary . There is a section
about carbon locked engines and how to free them up."

If you have any questions after that, feel free to e-mail me at vipernicus42@hotmail.com

Yes, nice write-up. This locking up of my second RX-7 (81 GSL) happend to me in the winter of 83. At that time this had never happend to anyone in the DFW RX-7 club. I used MMO liberaly for about a week and got it unstuck. I did a write up of it back then and it was published in our quarterly rag.
