You can also soak the cylinders in some penetrating oil such as PB Blaster or KROIL and use the chisel end of a shepherd's crook wrecking bar on the flywheel teeth to get the crankshaft moving.

Patience is the operative word here. Try removing the distributor, starter, fuel pump, road draft tube, etc. so the engine can be laid over on a forklift pallet for access to the flywheel teeth. Good luck!

Thank you. Jeffrey

Jerry if you did not know my son's 1946 235 in his 2 ton dropped a valve. I just got another engine and in my other post it turns out that it is a 1954 235 out of a 3800 truck. Please check out that other thread and comment on that thread on maybe having this engine rebuilt instead of the original 1946 235.

My son uses this truck for his catering business and I think the full pressure and higher HP and torque will help him. Thanks Jeffrey
