Hey guys, I'm a new guy to all of this and have a question.
I recently bought a 1952 TO30 that has been sitting for 30+ years. Engine was stuck. Freed the engine fairly quickly, she was housed indoors the entire time she sat. I had the head professionally rebuilt, new rings and bearings and overall cleaned her up. Brand new Interstate battery and new 2 sized cables, still rocking the 6 volt system. Replaced all the old wires. Was told by professional that the starter internally looked really good, brushes etc. and only needed a new stud since it was broke loose. He also made my cables. Anyways, I was turning the flywheel manually to get my pistons to top dead center to adjust valves and it moves pretty stiff. Also the crank moved stiff when I was underneath putting in the new bearings. Starter back in and it just makes a clunk noise, like the starter is engaging but doesn't have enough power to turn the engine over. Any suggestions? An ole timer suggested I put it in 4th and get pulled till the engine starts and let it sit and idle?
