Thanks all,I appreciate the info and help.
Just for the heck of it,I'll try the Acetone and power steering mix over the weekend,and let you know the results.I'm sure that this motor will be going on craigslist,whether I get it to turn over or not.I don't want to make a project out of a 30 year old motor.
You know how that works.First you remove the heads and possibly get it to turn,but now you realize that it needs rings etc,so you do that,then the carbs at the least need rebuilding or replacement,so you do that,then it needs a water pump,then the power trim craps out so you do that,then some electrical items need to be replaced,and on and on and on.Before you know it you have dumped far more money into it than it's worth.
That's a road I'm not going down.
