I took the head off today because the engine is seized. Nothing obvious but some rust in the water ports. Cylinder walls are smooth and clean looking. I'll clean the head up to determine the next steps. I'm soaking each cylinder with Marvel's Mystery Oil and will try to move the pistons in a couple days.

If anyone sees anything alarming in these photos, please let me know.
