I purchased a 1928 D that was stuck. Apparently the previous owner got it running 3 years ago, but hasn't ran it since. The exhaust manifold was cracked and I suspect water leaked into the right cylinder. I have diesel in the cylinders now, but in the meantime I removed the cover to the rods. I removed the bolts to the left cylinder and taped on bolts with a brass hammer. The left cylinder moved about 1/2". I stopped because I did not want to move too far. The left one is still bolted to the crank. I'm trying to break it free by trying to turn the flywheel, but I'm not getting very far. My question is if I remove the head would it be easier to break it free. I'm trying to avoid doing that since the head gasket is about $100.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
