Greenfield - I'm curious, based on your description, you say 'everything is stuck'. After you got the engine to partially turn; will it go back the opposite way from where it started to turn, or is it locked up completely?? I'm thinking if it will move back and then go forward to where it sticks again, a stuck valve would be the probable culprit, but if it is locked up completely, it could point to another issue altogether?? I guess with an engine that has sat for 30 years, a tear-down and basic rebuild would probably be the optimal course of action anyway, to prevent all kinds of operating woes going forward.
