Bill, I know everyone recommends penetrating oil but I read in an old car mag. that most engines are stuck from gummed fuel in cylinders especially if they were covered or kept inside. They said to use a mixture of acetone and fuel oil, take out plugs and fill cylinders with mixture then fill radiator with HOT water. This will expand the cylinders slightly and the pistons will not expand because of the air gap allowing the mixture to dissolve the varnish. Might take a few attempts but the guy who wrote the article said it worked on 23 out of 25 engines. Might be worth a try. He didn't say what ratio the mixture should be. LOL Gene
