Chad, You probably have a ring or rings that are rusted stuck to the cylinder walls or something along those lines .Everyone has their own recipe to pour down the cylinders . I would first take of the heads and see if anything jumps out at you as being the problem . ( Hopefully , nothing will actually jump out at you ! ) Anyway , pour your favorite mix in each cylinder and let it soak in for a few days . I would try one or more of the following loosening juices , kerosene , WD-40 , Kroil , Marvel Mystery Oil , Liquid Wrench , and so on . Some folks swear by using Coca Cola but I have never tried it ! I have had the best luck freeing rusted parts using Liquid Wrench . After letting it soak , try GENTLY turning the engine using a hand crank if you have one . If it does not come loose , soak her down some more and repeat the whole wait and see process .MAYBE try a LIGHT TAP on each piston with a hammer and block of wood . BE GENTLE ! Eventually , it should break loose with good luck . Was able to free up a BUDA power unit that had been sitting outside without a head for several years using the method above . Let us know what works for you . Good Luck and Enjoy your new toys ! Ford Man
