Ron Give your cylinders at least 3 or four good squirts of marvel mystery oil or ATF or kroil so they can soak. Soak all of your valve guides too,several times !! It's not hard to kill a good engine with sticky valve guides. You can then carefully try your valves to see if they will move,be careful on the intakes they can hit the pistons . Sticky valves can also fly closed and break your rocker arms,bend your pushrods once the engine is turned some. Good Luck !!
Excellent!
On to the 3rd soaking tomorrow
The first 3 cylinders will drain down the 1/2 cup ATF over night … took a couple days …. But they started seeping past rings , I hope,
last 3 are still holding atf
Or were yesterday.
I’ll check fluid , with my trusty white zip tie gauge and add as necessary.
Thought about dropping the oil pad to have a look as well !
Thanks everyone for your responses
