Here"s a method I"ve heard about. Get an old spark plug and break the glass bits out of it. Then weld a short pipe on the end. Drill a hole in a pipe cap and thread into it a zerk fitting. Now, remove the rockers and be sure all the valves are as closed as they can be. From here, work **VERY GENTLY.** Thread the whatzit into the sparkplug hole of one of the cylinders. Fill the cylinder with grease until you feel a slight back pressure. **STOP** Do the same for the other three cylinders. With luck it will break free at this point. If not, go back to each cylinder one at a time and apply **VERY GENTLE** pressure. You"re using hydraulic pressure to move the pistons, and you have literally tons of force at your disposal. If you do not work GENTLY, you will bend piston rods or crack the crank or break the head or or or...
This is better than the air-chuck method, as you have control. With air, you are compressing the air. So, once things start moving, they"ll move fast. Grease does not compress. So, the moment you stop pumping, things stop moving.
