" I just purchased this engine
" I just purchased this engine. The previous owner had not used it for 21 years. It is barn fresh. It is siezed up. After removing spark plugs and viewing pistons through plug holes while trying to turn flywheel,which will spin a 1/2 inch,I do notice a slight bit of piston movement, estimate 1/16 inch. I have put 2 capfulls of Marvelous Mistory Oil into each spark plug hole, it has sat one week. I have been told to remove cylinder head and direct oil at cylinder walls and hope. Then tap piston closest to top of cylinder first, using wooden implement and light touch. While being careful to tap equally on each cylinder to promote slight equal movement. Any other suggestions on how to proceed. What other problems/ concerns may I encounter from this engine that has not seen action since 1982. It appears very clean and not abused. Thanks "
