I think I did a stupid thing when I stored my car three years ago
at the beginning of the restoration. I had a strong running engine with
good compression in all four cylinders and good oil pressure too. When I
disassmbled most of the car I just drained the water from the engine and
squirted a little engine oil into the spark plug holes, leaving the engine
oil in the sump. I left the engine in the car all that time and have
recently gotten to putting things back together. The engine didn't want
to turn over manually by applying pressure to the flywheel, or by trying
to leverage the fan. I then squirted some liquid wrench into the spark
plug holes and into the intake and exhaust ports. Still didn't want to
turn over manyally, so I bolted up the starter and put 12 volts across it
but nothing happened. What to do next? At this point the body is still
sitting two feet above the frame, but the suspension and drivetrain are
all together. Any and all advice is gladly accepted.
