I recently aquired a military surplus 478 that was rebuilt, but never used. Its stuck and after soaking it in diesel for a few days it will not budge. I tried bumping it using grade 8 bolts and a long bar but it bends the bolts. It doesnt have a flexplate or flywheel so any ideas on how to get some torque on the crank?
Thanks

A feller could maybe pull the front balancer and leave the woodruff key in the crank shaft.......then get a big crescent wrench and use it on the crank shaft up against the woodruff key......should be able to develop a lil' bit more torque that way..........maybe...
Luck.
