FILL THE CYLS UP AND THE MOTOR WITH KROLL AND GIVE IT A FEW DAYS TO SOAK TURN IT A LITTLE AT A TIME, IF THE COMP. COMES BACK UP YOU MAY BE ALRIGHT BUT LIKE CHOPPER SAID IT IS BEST TO SEE WHAT MADE IT FREEZE UP BUT YOU WILL STILL HAVE TO LOSEN IT UP TO TAKE IT APART.

I won't know the full story till i pick it up during next week, but i was told it had been sitting in the garden with no plugs in, and that the cylinders had water in them.
There ain't no rush to do this one, it's the parts for trike 2.

The engine is Honda Goldwing GL1100.
Got the engine, frame, wheels and other bits donated to me lol for a few cans of Quinness draught

Have never really had to unseize a motor, however I think a pentrating fluid would also probably help......I use stuff similar to the stuff in the link to unsieze all kinds of rusty nuts and bolts at work and after sitting for five minutes they usually come out very easily.

That works I have done that. I used Marvels Mystery Oil in an old pick up.

Use plenty of penitrating oil and let it sit for at least a week. Keep adding penitrant to the cylinders. Your pistons will be junk after sitting in water for that long but your cylinders might be machineable. You will need to do a complete rebuild but if the price is right it should be worth the effort.
