Go to your local army surplus store and buy some rifle bore cleaner. It works great and fast usually over night. I've heard about it and seen it work. I looked at a tractor a neighbor had sitting outside (w/exhaust covered) and tried to start it without any luck. Well a year later I bought it from him and pulled it home only to find out the engine had locked up in just 12 months. I tore it down and I couldn't believe how bad it had corroded inside. Tear yours down and work on one piston at a time they're easier to remove that way instead of trying to move all of them at one time by turning the engine over. Remember it's stuck and you'll have to tear it down in the future any way 9 times out of 10. The rings stick to the pistons and uses oil then. I bought an IH 574 the dealer said it needed a valve job. Well I figured I'd do it my self. Well when the head was pulled off I seen the pistons were scarred around the edges. Good thing I didn't run it very long before pulling the head. Could of cost me a bore job! Just do what you feel is right is what I tell people! One thing I keep in mind is a "Little education can broaden a narrow mind but there is no cure for a big head". If it's not done right why do it?
