Centash this is a cast iron block engine. I overhauled it many years ago. The mistake I made was to just re-ring it but there was too much cylinder taper and a few rings eventually broke. Also, me being young and inexperienced I did not look at the backs of the bearing shells. It came from the factory with .010 undersized mains on the crank. I put standards back in and after it warmed up the oil pressure went down to near zero. Just one of those rookie mistakes.
I just got the hood open and had to pull out about a half a bale of corn stalks and one dead possum as a bonus. No damage except the possum had one vacuum hose for lunch. I forgot it takes a very thin wall spark plug socket to get the plugs out. Had to grind a socket down to get it to fit. The cylinders are bathing in ATF. I half heartedly tried to turn the engine over using the fan and it would not turn. Will find out tomorrow if it will turn over or if I will have to sell it with a stuck engine. I don't have a lot of time to mess with it.
