Lacquer thinner & ATF
BTW that's what worked for us freeing up the engine in CB&Q 9908 at the Museum of Transportation here in Saint Louis, MO. It had been sitting exposed to the weather for 40+ years. -------Original Message-------

With the plugs out and tranny in neutral................ https://www.google.com/#q= I was able to start two engines in 2012 that sat 20+ years each – but they turned over........ The 318 Poly and a 472 Cadillac..... I used “Fogging oil” on them auto parts stores sell for just that purpose. Drove them both for a couple years - rebuilt the Poly in 2015. The Cad engine (out of a 1970 Coup DeVille) is still being driven at least once a week - that engine doesn’t smoke or have excess blow-by or oil use. 150,000+ original miles on it! http://www.acehardware.com/ | ||
