Re: stuck 478
Thanks guys. I was surprised that it gave up so easily. Its been soaking for a while in the diesel and trans fluid, but only got the impact on it last week. I used a 1/2 drive impact instead of a 1 inch thinking that the vibration would help get some fluid behind the rings.
All of the cyls had threaded plastic caps in the spark plug holes and they were pretty much paint sealed except for one. it showed evidence of a rats nest. I think some urine made its way into the cyl.
I dont really have a plan for it, but I do want to hear it run. I took the valve covers off and it looks like it was never run after the overhaul. (The spec sheet shows new .060 pistons.) So for now, check for damage, and drain the oil/diesel/trans fluid in the crankcase. And??
