All, I am finally attempting to get my Tiger back on the road after 35 years in the garage. I have removed the radiator. (I think it leaks.) I have removed the water pump - completely frozen up! The

HI Carl, If it won't rotate with a breaker bar, it's not going to do you much good to try to just free up the pistons and then run it like that. Most likely you're going to have cracked valve stem se

Even when you get the motor apart, you might have trouble getting the pistons out of the bores. At tip I have heard about is to fill each cylinder with a 50/50 mixture of atf and acetone, to a depth

Carl, I'm sure you'll get lots of advice from the group; they're well versed in all things Tiger. If it was me I'd change the oil and filter, pull the distributor and try to spin up the oil pump to g

Carl Theo covered it. You might want to jack the rear wheels up to make sure you actually do have it in neutral, wheels should turn as long as the brakes are not frozen too; watch the drive shaft. Yo

The other option is to try and free the engine. I warn that there is the risk of breaking piston rings and/or the lands on the piston. Remember you have a rather rare 5 bolt block (I think). There ar

I have dealt with only one frozen Tiger engine. Dan Walters and I freed it by squirting Kroil in each cylinder and then working a breaker bar on the damper bolt back and forth. Eventually got it to t

I don't know if this is a sacrilegious thing to suggest. Given your history with the car, and its condition, it may also depend on what you want to do with it now. Do you want to get back to driving
