Just bought my first M923, engine seized

Drained all of the antifreeze out of the oil pain, then the oil came out. Filled it with fresh oil, Fired right up and drove it around to the back of my shop. There is definitely some damage since she was running a bit rough, but I think things are looking pretty good all things considered.

One of the liners was busted at the bottom where the orings were allowing antifreeze to pour into the oil. Even though you drained and refilled it will come back. Once you drop the pan I bet you will notice the liner gone.

Talked to Glen in Kansas, he is getting 700 trucks - all to be parted out - I'm sure you'll get a good deal - the hard part is to arrange transportation of the engine back to your location.- good luck.

I'm still dropping the pan and tearing it down. Fixing whatever is broken.

Good Morning,
You did that last night? Sounds like things are looking better but there's something wrong. Are you still going to take it all apart?

Yes I did that yesterday afternoon. I am definitely still taking it apart. It has a definite miss and is a little louder than normal. But at least its not seized.
