Thank you for your replies. I have taken the head off and poured ATF down the cylinders. It drained through in 48 hours. I hand cranked the engine and it was very smooth. The engine is not siezed which is good news, and there's no rust on the cylinders or pistons. I'll need to replace the rings eventually, but it's fine for now just to get it running. Does anyone know where to get the gasket kit for the engine? I also need a rebuild kit for the carb becuase I'd like to run E85, while they still offer it at the local gas stations.
