A year ago I bought a wrecked Jeep with only 70,000 miles on it for the motor and some parts, I got it all swapped over to my jeep knowing it was a good motor, when I went to start it it would not turn a bit! Tried every mixture of oils recommended by everyone, wait wait wait, nothing.Well, after a lot of huffing and puffing, (which doesn't take long to reach that state) still no go. Think I'll let it soak longer, try again saturday. Time to go sit down.
So I popped the head off and found this! I cleaned the cylinders out the best I even honed what I could, nothing. A customer came in and saw the motor and said it looked similar to a tractor motor and told me he had great luck with pouring warm water about 180* in them to break them loose, so I heated water on the wood stove in a metal five gallon bucket, about three gallons of water and dumped it in the jacket holes best I could till it was full.
It broke lose right away about five minutes after I dumped it.
I have a about 15,000 miles on it since then. Runs great!

You know, I was thinking of some kind of heat. And this would also tell me if the orings are still sealing. Think I'll try this Saturday.

I think that would be a good plan Steve, keep us posted. This should be interesting.

While I'm hoping these different tricks work to break it free, I also realize there is a possibility that I'll just have to tear it down. Which is ok. I can't complain, the price was right. Plus it has good tires on it, which is huge in my book.
Also, give gravity some help with shop air and a compression tester.

Rock in high/road gear as it has the best mechanical advantage.

Sudden thought: don't be rocking that pup if you remove the head. You may have cylinder sleeves start jumping out with the Pistons. Yikes!
The Helen Dorley Zoo along with the St. Louis and San Diego zoos are a must do for anyone with kids.
