Hey guys,
I’m starting the reviving of an old engine. It supposedly was running when parked but that was like 12 years ago or so. I pulled the valve cover and soaked the valves with oil. Went to crank by hand and it wouldn’t budge with a breaker bar. Then I pulled the glow plugs and squirted down the holes with penetrating oil. If I get enough down in there it should make it’s way down to the pistons right? Any other advice for me to free this up? There is no indication that anything is rusty inside. Oil pan was full, coolant was clean and clear. Plugs were near spotless. Valve train was clean and wet with oil when I opened it up. Let me know what you think.
Thanks! Darren
