That isn't going to be too happy this winter.

I had removed a 392 hemi from a '58 Plymouth wagon last year that was stuck solid, and brought it in the barn this last weekend for dry storage. Figured I'd remove the cylinder heads to see how bad the block was, and maybe free it up. As soon as I removed the intake manifold, acorns began rolling out of the ports, maybe thirty or forty. The ports in the heads also had quite a few stashed there as well.

Surprisingly, I was able to get the engine freed up just by using a long bar on the crank pulley, the oil I had poured in there last year must have done the trick. Not even much or a ridge in the cylinder walls, either. This car sat outside for many years, some with the hood up too. Once in awhile you win one.
