I have nearly finished restoring my first 48B and after draining the oil to remove the lines and oil filter and mount for replacing and spraying -I removed the plugs as well (for about 2 weeks)and after putting it all back together again - I went to turn her over to test the starter and battery and found she is stuck solid ...took the head off and no sign of crud only a bit of light surface rust in 3 -overnight put diesel in and no 2 is draining but 1 3 and 4 are not just yet...my question is could there be any rust on the crank and in such a short period is there likely to be damage to the sleeve or rings (I have another engine I unstuck thanks to the help I got from you guys but that had been stuck for years and the pots were full of water and crap and there was sleeve damage so we have put that one to one side)
any way your thoughts guys

it is unstuck now so not a major drama although the two middle pistons are a bit sticky possibly at the crankshaft end...but I noticed with the head off that some of the water holes that drain down into the block are closing up and one is totally blocked solid with rust whats the best way to fix this...file them out or drill them out...will this damage the block or could pieces drain into the radiator and damage it OR should I just leave it be and cover it up again...
thanks guys

the water jacket is one big cavity between the crankshaft and the head. If you take the water pump off the front end, anything you push into the "block cavity" can be flushed or hosed out the front end, or blow thru with air. If you have that much junk in it, i would remove the pump and flushs out with water.
