About to start my first restoration on a 52 B that's been in the family for about 50 years but hasn't run in 30+.
The engine is stuck and I've been soaking it with diesel, coke and kerosene for 4 months to no avail. My thought is the rings are still froze on the top of the block where my concoction doesn't reach. I'm planning on pulling the head and block so I can set the block upright to get better soak with penetrating oil and/or pound out the pistons.
Is there anything special I should do or consider before taking apart the engine?
