as i was takeing my baja bug for a ride off road and long story short my back bumber (cage) got pushed up and and broke my oil filter. and as i was makeing my way off the trails all of my oil drained out and my engine is sized. from what i heer i need an overhual.

but i have heard pouring dissile into the heads and leting it sit might help to break it free and makeher come alive again. atleast thats what a motorcycle guy told me.

any ideas besides pulling the engine?????????thanks

There is nothing that will save that engine now. Even rebuilding will be unlikely do to block damage.
