1991 Cherokee

[Joe R.]

I had the guy tow the 91to my house tonight... I hooked jumper cables to it... it gets power, the engine is seized... the starter trys to crank it but it just clicks... I'll have to pull the head, see what I have to work with... The oil has no coolant in it.

Can you manually turn the engine with a big wrench on the harmonic balancer bolt?

Haven't tried... just got it at 8 o'clock.... I will work on it on sunday... I hate to pull the head... if I can get it to turn over without pulling it I will.. I'm hoping the pistons arent too seized..

Pull the spark plugs, squirt in a load of PB Blaster then some lightweight machine oil or motor oil, then some more PB Blaster. Or Liquid Wrench if you have that in squirt cans rather than aerosols. It doesn't evaporate as quickly as PB Blaster.
