Dec.1 ya'll urged me to "tear into" the H. Wow! If I'd only known... Some of those bolts are nearly imposssible to reach! And, all the things that have to be removed in order to get at the head and manifold and remove them -- wow, again! Things that come to mind include the sheet metal, gauges, steering shaft, carburetor, etc. Anyway, I've removed the head and manifold. Three cylinders had water in them. I've wiped 'em out, vacuumed 'em out, sprayed WD40 on 'em, and now have added ATF. The tops of the pistons have a strange shape to them, sorta like a buzzard without a head sitting with his wings up like hunched shoulders. The bottom of the head looks like several of the valves may be rusted shut. I think I should have followed kub6040's advice and looked for a used H engine. As of now the engine is "resting"/"soaking" while I wait on time to get back to it. Please bear in mind that I'll depend on each of you (and others on this forum) who advised me to go at it. I'll bet I can harness and drive horses almost as well as any of ya'll, BUT the innards of an engine are pretty tough for me. Thanks for your help up to this point. kelly
