I don't get it, I know the R1 wagon I recently bought has been setting a while. But I pulled the valve covers and no rust nice and oily, The oil on the dipstick looks great, Trans fluid looks new, motor is not greasy. This thing looks like it should run. But It is stuck! Whats my next move, I tried a inch and a half socket with breaker bar, It's been setting for 3 weeks with cylinders full of Aero Kroil, I tried prying on the fly wheel, I broke a chain wrench on the Harminc balancer, what next? I'm not ready to tear the engine down yet. Is there any thing else to try before giving up, or am I wasting my time? This may sound drastic, but I have a hardwood dowl could I tap the piston tops with a hammer and dowl through the spark plug hole, or is that not worth the effort?
