I was using a Binford 880 varible reversible?
Just kidding,.
It apparently is a 235 from a 55 car, since it appears to have a two bolt valve cover.
I was turning it both ways with a dewalt drill and a large screwdriver that was sacrificed yesterday. We ((drained)) the pan last night and dropped it this eve.
It was sludge. Excepting the WD-40 and PB blaster we shot through the sparkie holes for a few succesive days.
The bottom end was still wet, the cam lobes looked a bit carmelized, but flat. The bottoms of the cylinders all looked fairly square, no verticle scarring to speak of on the lower end of the stroke.
The rods got shook vigorously. My kid is a [censored] sometimes, I just wanted him to get really nasty oil schmeg all the way to his elbow so I goose chased him down that road. No play, Dad!
To his credit, he's only tested for spark once.
I'm looking at pulling the oil pump so it can be disassembled and cleaned?
