I have an SMTA which ran fine up until 2008. After a year or two of sitting (out in the elements), the engine stuck.
I poured various penetrants (ATF/Acetone, PB blaster, etc) into the plug holes over the next several years.
Last night, I removed the starter, and managed to turn the engine over with a pry bar. It turned pretty stiffly at first. I then removed the rocker assembly and all the spark plugs (one plug hole gushed out ATF). I turned the engine more with the prybar - it got quite a bit easier to turn.
Before starting, I thought I would do the following: 1. crank with plug holes open, to empty fluids from combustion chambers 2. change oil
Is there anything I am overlooking? Are stuck valve tappets possible?
