Yesterday I poured a 32 oz. bottle of Marvel Mystery OIl down each spark plug hole in hopes to free up the Engine. I will let it set for 4 or 5 days then try and free it up by hand. Someone has taken the starter off of this engine at least 9 yrs. ago , thats how long this truck sat along side a private farm road untouched. I did spray some Kroill down each spark plug hole about a week and a half ago. I checked the oil and it was full but it was black. Here is a few pics. of the dipstick and im hoping it is the original dipstick for this truck, maybe someone else here that has a 1953 Chevy Panel Truck can tell me for sure. Also is a pic. with the oil on the dipstick. Remember, the truck sat for 9 yrs. that I know of and im thinking maybe a bit longer. once i get the motor freed up,then I was going to drain it and put some new in. Then sometime later this month i want to pull the motor and transmission and sit then on a skid outside (because I dont have the space Inside) covered up untill the engine gets rebuilt a year or so down the road.
