Loosen up nitro engine
 

I have a losi 3.4 nitro engine that is locked up I have been told that marvel mystery oil put in glow plug hole and where air filter goes will bring engine back to where it needs to be is that true what I have been told?

Heat and a little acetone will work faster and more effectively.

If it is just stuck in its pinch then indeed heating up will make it turn a gain with a start and a lot of people stick a screwdriver under in the chassis at the flywheel as a lever to turn the flywheel over.

It takes some common sense. If someone literally uses solvent and an open heat source at the same time despite the warnings all over the acetone can, they probably deserve to learn a lesson. However, both often aren’t needed. Use some solvent and work it loose or heat it up to 200-250F.

COMMON SENSE WARNING: ACETONE IS FLAMMABLE.

Just heat it up with a heat gun

Really though, it’s not my responsibility to police what other people do with my OR anyone else’s advice. If someone is dumb enough to douse an engine with acetone and heat it with a heat gun or torch or oven and it catches fire.... they deserve to learn a lesson AND they should not operate model engines. Not any different than the dufus that burns his house or garage down from charging a LiPo unattended.

You sound like a dick.

Btw, this is international, people who dont speak english as their primary language use it, so you should be clear for them at the very least.

Although with your head as far up as your own ass as it seems to be, i doubt youve ever thought about something so abstract as other countries.

LoL!! Hardly! I’m practical and realistic. If you don’t know how to handle something - say a solvent or chemical you’re not familiar with - you should probably at the very least read the damn can to know at least a little bit of what you’re about to do. Should I go back and put a snippet in there to wear gloves, a leather apron, and steel toed safety shoes if you handle a model engine that just came from the oven? Maybe advise that the fuel these engines burn is quite flammable with a near invisible flame in daylight? Where does the stupidity end and common sense start?

Good grief.

Soak it in nitro fuel, I keep old fuel around for this purpose. I have also found that LA's awesome degreaser/cleaner(I buy it at dollar tree) does a great job of dissolving old oil, just make sure to not soak for more than ~3hrs. And clean and dry all parts once removed from bath.
