Hi folks,
I'm starting a 53' Champion and the drive train is not looking so hopeful. The car's in neutral (AT) and it looks like the engine is frozen up pretty well. I don't have any history on the car, but it's definitely been sitting for years.
After finally getting my radiator cowling off (had to torch a few of the bolts) I had access to the crank pulley. Unfortunately it was not budging. I pulled the head tonight and this is what I found underneath.
I'd already done some penetrating oil soaks before I pulled the head and now I'm giving it a good soak with acetone/atf
Is there anything I'm forgetting?
Thanks,
-David
