The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop 235 6 cyl, ran 3 min, siezed

any ideas? I had engine rebuilt, was stored undercover outside for 4 months until ready to start, did "correct things" like run oil pump with drill motor til oil out rockers, was priming carb with gas trying to get fuel pump primed, engine was running fine -good oil pressure for 20-30 seconds at a time til carb ran dry, this went on for 6-8 times and engine stopped like usual, out of gas, primed carb final time, won't turn over, thought put to much gas in carb, hydrolocked it, pulled plugs and boroscoped cylinders, no gas, no sign of flash rust on cylinder walls possibly siezing rings. engine locked solid. possible fuel pump pushrod siezed?, camshaft sprocket fragged?
tryed resoline in cylinders, tapping block every few days, still locked solid, may have to pull engine and pull off oilpan and inspect for spun bearing but want to try all options/ideas first.
hope I'm doing this right, 1st time posting as newbie, you can see truck on March additions/Gallery. Thanks Dave. :confused:
