Had a opportunity to work on my tractor since it has been hot and humid. Pulled the spark plugs and three cylinders had water in them. I ordered some Kroil last week, and poured Kroil in all six cylinders. One of my past jobs, we used Kroil on gulled up studs. So I'm very familiar how Kroil works.

Did you blow the water out of the cylinders? If not the Kroil will float on top of the water and do you no good.

so what does the cycl walls look like if they are rusty all the Kroil in the world will not work.

Were me, I'd add the Kroil, let it soak for days, then rotate the engine many many many times, by hand, or by crank, with more Kroil, long before I tried to start it. just my experience, but I've fond PB Blaster also removes rust, somehow.

That's my plan. Get the engine free, fill with oil and start it up. I want to see once the engine warms up, and watch for any bubbling coming to the surface. Then I'll know if I have a cracked head or block. The guy I bought it from told me he parked it, once he noticed coolant in the oil. Want to rule out cracked head/block before I tear into it. If it's a head gasket, I'm going to overall the engine. Cracked block/head, find another block or head whatever is bad.
