"I am new to your group and seem to be having a few difficulties in getting my message posted correctly ---- so if this has been posted previously, I apologize.
I have a 1975 Century Arabian with a 440 Chrysler and have never had a problem with the engine - it only has about 850 hrs on it.
I didn't use it for about 18 mths and when I tried to start it I found water in the gas and could not get it to turn over. Unfortunately I didn't do anything after that and it sat for another 6 mths. I pumped out the tank and filled with fresh gas. When I tried to start it, it was frozen and all I got was a click.
I removed the plugs and filled the cylinders with a penetrating oil (PB) and Mystery oil and then let it sit for 2 to 3 days. I repeated this about 4 times and have only been able to move the engine a bout 90 degrees using a breaker bar.
Any suggestions as to what to do next??? Many thanks - Peyton"
