Glad to hear you got it to turn 360 degrees yahoo Patience, lubrication and turning it back and forth will get smoother with each try. Justaround is correct, drain that cooling system and fill it with water and pressure check before you add new oil to the crankcase. Pull that valve cover also and have someone watch the valve train while you are turning to make sure all push rods are moving the rocker arms and valves up and down. This will also give you a chance to check for bent push rods.

Just to mention we have all been through this same thing at one time or another, and YES we have a lot of wise crackers on this forum. Just try to lighten up a frustrating situation with a little humor.

Keep at it and let us know how things progress. When that KROIL arrives and you use it, you will be amazed it how it performs. MMO OK, but KROIL made me a believer.
