I removed the engine from the sled. I have the intake and exhaust manifolds and the heads removed. One piston is at TDC, and so I can not put any fluids in it to soak or to burn it loose. With the other piston at BDC, it will not hold anything either. This is a 1972 SST340 Chaparral. It had a 1982 plate on it and so it is possible that it has not been running in 30 years. I put a small block of wood over the high piston and whacked it with a heavier hammer. Some crud came out from above the rings and so I applied some PB Blaster to it. With the piston at TDC will beating on it with a hammer, get it to loosen up? Will the crank and rod be able to roll over? Thank you Steve
