RE: Getting a stuck engine loose

["Peter Ryner" <pryner@verizon.net>]

I've had great luck with marvel mystery oil.  The worse case I had was an MGA 
that had not run in 9 years.  I pulled the plugs, put a fair amount of oil in 
each cylinder and let it sit overnight.  The next day I put a large wrench on 
the pulley nut and the engine turned after a few good wacks with a large 
hammer.  Not only did the engine turn over, but ran for some time with no 
additional work.  I must admit though that it did smoke quite a bit upon heavy 
acceleration.
