I have an Oliver 77 (thanks to all who helped figure out what I have) that I just picked up and the engine is stuck. It sat outside for the last 7 years and the muffler rusted off and got water down the
exhaust. This is the first time I have dealt with a stuck engine so any help is appreciated. Here is where I am at.
- Pulled all spark plugs and filled with PB blaster/ATF mixture and it has been sitting about 1 month
- Only Cylinder #5 is stuck
- blocked up one wheel and rocking it in 6th gear to try and break piston loose every couple days
So my questions are what should i do next?
-just be patient and give it more time (always a problem of mine)
-pull the head and try and remove sleeve/piston
-should I pour PB blaster/ATF down the exhaust to help with valves?
Again, any suggestions would be helpful.
