Hi I am Muhammad, I have accidentally put engine crack sealant in engine instead of radiator. When I started engine it ran for ten minutes after that it stopped and did not started again. What should I do now? Will my engine ruined if I change oil?

Hmmm, that is a bummer, I would drain the engine oil and remove the oil filter, replace with new and refill the oil. Then get a large breaker bar and force the engine to move back and forth, this should break the engine loose and you should be okay.

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.

Best, Ken
