My friend Jason dropped of this GiantVac push blower with a locked up Kohler Command engine. Externally the engine appears to be in good condition. There are no holes punched in the side of the block and there is a low oil sensor. Can we break this engine free and get it running again?

I no longer use Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner. Harbor Freight changed the recipe. The bottle previously stated "NONCORROSIVE". Now it says "CORROSIVE", "do not user on Aluminum". It now damages most carburetors. Recently I have been using Simple Green PRO HD with good results.
