Sounds like maybe there is a crack in the block or something. I do notice your in Canada so is there a chance the engine has frozen and burst?
You can rock the truck or try other ways. I always pulled the flywheel inspection cover and used a BIG screwdriver in the flywheel teeth to try move it back and forth. I too had a 1946 that was stuck back in 1985. I ended up pulling the head after a couple weeks of soaking with the diesel, marvel mystery oil and Kroil. After pulling the head I took me a round piece of firewood that would fit down in the cylinder and popped each piston a few times, let it soak a day or two, did it again and then the flywheel moved about an inch. After a week, working in the evening, I finally got it free, put the head back on and started it up. It actually ran good. I later sold it and it was still running.
The antifreeze scares me though!!! | | |
