Re: stuck motor

My engine was stuck when I got it. A little ATF in all the cylinders and let it sit for a few days.

The I used a breaker bar on the crank bolt gently rocked it back and forth a little bit each day until she broke loose. Motor runs fine, and I never pulled the head or opened the motor except for cleaning out the oil pan and adjusting the valves.

Obviously your results may vary as you never know how long or how bad the motor was stuck. If it had been left opened (spark plugs removed) and some water got in there, or there was a headgasket leak that let coolant into the cylinders which created a rust issue, then it may not be as easy as it was for me.
