I've finally got around to get started on the 57' again. I made room in the driveway for it so time to get working on the engine. The can turn the crankshaft about halfway then it stops so it looks like I'm going to have to take it apart and rebuild it. I should get started on it this weekend. Its slow going for me cause I work at night and watch my daughter during the day so I only get to work on it on the weekends.

Hey Joe
I am working toward restarting my own project. One thing I have to ask is this, did you try to rotate your engine with the spark plugs in or out? I would try it with them pulled out. It may not change anything but it might. I think it is worth a shot. If your plans have included a rebuild of the engine then I think you have nothing to lose. Good Luck
