Did I say the engine is stuck. Well it is.

When I pulled the head, cylinder 1 had about an inch of water in it. The remaining 5 were dry. I have cleaned the cylinders and piston heads a good as I can with a wire brush. I have orderd a variety of cone brass brushes for my drill, when they come in I will do a better clean. In the meantime I plan on sealing around the pistons and filling the cylinders with evapo rust to get rid of the rust.
