Soak the cylinders down for a couple of weeks with a few ounces of a 50/50 mix of acetone and automatic transmission fluid- - - -both are available at any Walmart store. Then use a long pry bar on the flywheel teeth against a bolt threaded into the back of the engine block to get enough leverage to turn the crankshaft. What engine are you working with- - - - -since a stovebolt six doesn't have a balancer center bolt?
It's possible to make up an adapter for a grease fitting from a spark plug shell and push a piston down the bore with a hand pump grease gun to break it loose. Pick out a cylinder with the piston near the top of the stroke, loosen both valve adjustments all the way or remove the rocker arms, and pump the combustion chamber full. Don't overdo it- - - -you can blow out a cylinder wall, crack a cylinder head, or bend a connecting rod if you're not careful! Jerry
