I have had good luck with soaking the cylinders and engine with Marvel Mystery Oil for a few days. Try working the crank back and forth with a breaker bar a couple of times a day. I once was able to start an engine that was froze up after sitting for 30 years with this methode. (Though that was an unusual case.) If that doesnt work maybe try the BFH methode.=/ Louis --- Ben Doughney <ben_d@clear.net.nz> wrote: > On 06/09/2004, at 12:52 PM, Russ Wolfe wrote: > > >> From the looks of the pictures, that is about > what I expect to see > >> when > > I tear my t-34 engine down.
