Ive got a siezed one to free up. All new to me, and i dont want to break anything. Any tips?

[pyro8818ak47]

@tattooer8 Lots of WD40 and a hard rubber hammer, and a piece of wood to hit it from the other side, smack the pistion back and forth in the cylinder to free it up o and patience

@tattooer8 Put some coca-cola in the cylinder, let it sit for a week, and tap the pistons with a rubber mallet.

all that those engines really are is four big mower engines together lol

Did these engines have any valve overlap? I was watching the valve action and didn't see both partially open at any time.

looks like it was running nice and lean on the front cylinders. the back looked a little rich in color

@enginemasterbuilder I read a piece in the RESTORER and a study indicated there may be a lack of water circulation in that back no 4 cyl as that cyl has a tendency to have more problems namely burnt valves...
