Here is what hasn't worked yet. Purchased and A-I at a consignment sale. Looked bad but was all there. Got it home and found that the engine and raditor were full of anti freeze, a good sign. Pulled the head and pan, found no rust or water where it shouldn't be, another good sign. filled cylinders with PB Blaster and let it sit two days. Unbolted the starter to make sure it wasn't part of the problem. Got out the 5lb hammer and block of wood, beat the block of wood into splinters and wore out my arm. Got out the Act. torch and heated the cylinders up as hot as I was comfortable with, soaked in PB Blaster again for a day. New wood block and hammer, no luck. Purchased some Kroil, soaked again for two days, still no luck. Number 1 & 4 pistons are down and numbers 2 & 3 are up. Oils will leak past over night in 1 & 4 but not in 2 & 3. Reassembled looslly and pickeled it with Kroil. Put a 75lb weight on the end of the crank, three weeks later, still no luck. Tryed a cheater on the crank, bent crank. Check every week and fill with Kroil where needed, still waiting 2 months later. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PROJECT.
