I have a 1956 Sportsman with KFL 131 hp engine that
did roll over several times(has been sitting for ? long time)
The next day I planned on doing a compression test
The starter would not roll the engine, I pulled the starter and it did roll
I attempted to turn the engine with the flywheel and it would roll about 1/2
turn in either direction and stop solid
I pulled the head and found several valves stuck open or closed
all the piston seemed to work properly and the cylinder walls looked good
There is no water in the oil
Need advice on how to determine the cause and what possible solutions are
By the way!! I am not a mechanic
Thanks to any and all response
