Today's hot topic - stuck engines

Posted by Sean in Calgary on May 21, 2003 at 12:16:32 from (216.94.7.66):

I have seen lots of help lately on what to do to get engines unstuck. This is a variation on that theme. I came into posession of an International L-130 truck. The engine is stuck - I determined this by trying to turn it over while it was being towed - wheels just slid on ground. However, this doesn't seem totally hopeless to me. The hood has been on the truck while it sat in a field and when I puled the cover off the oil filter, there is oil in there. Now, I am not going to get to this as a project for at least a year. Is there anything I could/should do now so that it is not more frozen when I get to it. I want to do something mild so that if I do leave it sitting for a year I won't have eaten up any parts. What about pull the spark plugs, fill cylinders with ATF and then put plugs back in. Will I do damage if it sits that way for a year or so?

Thanks,
Sean
