<VV> Freeing a stuck motor.

[Paul Fox]

 In the past I've found that carbon breaks lose and falls to the bottom of the chambers and completely locks the engine even it the pistons are not stuck any more. If it doesn't free up easy you'll almost for sure need to pull the heads. Paul Fox

Subject: <VV> Freeing a stuck motor.

Hi, I am giving the old college try for a 1964 stuck motor that was given to
me for 'free'. It is out of the car on the floor. A 3/4 inch wrench on the
harmonic balancer bolt head does not make it budge. The starter is bad.
I pulled the plugs and poured a gallon of ATF into the spark plug holes
today. How long should I wait and are there any other ways of trying to get
it moving other than the bolt head on the harmonic balancer? -- IV
