Gents:
Need some advice: I'm getting ready to pull the 361 out of my '62 Sport
Fury. I'm trying to turn the motor over by hand, so I can remove the
flexplate bolts. BUT, I can't get it to budge. A few months ago, the
motor got overheated and wouldn't run anymore (probably seized up?) I
squirted some penetrant down into the cylinders, no luck. I'm using a
1/2" drive long-handled socket wrench (about 18" long). I don't have an
impact wrench.
Any advice on how to turn this dude over? Do I need a really long
breaker bar? If I remove the heads, is there a way to turn it from the
top, or at least lube it up some more? Thanks!
