i think the plug wires are still ok they look brand new

 

what kind of wires are they?
are they the old thin wires, or the think wires?

 

they are accel and they are thick

 

then they should be fine
just check them for cracks
if you see none, leave em

 

they look really good i pulled some of the spark plugs the boots look good so do the metal pieces inside it all looks new

 

good
so then you dont gotta worry about them

 

thats true
you dont need to pull the intake, its just a little harder if you dont
but, it can be done

 

I just did this. My order is as follows. Pulled the plugs and squirted wd-40 in all the cylinders. Pulled the radiator and this allowed me access to the crank shaft bolt. I turned her very slowly with plugs back in her. It was hard at first, but loosened after a few days. Crank her a few turns each day and re-apply lub of choice. She should feel easier as the days go on. I replaced all the hoses and re-cored the radiator. Replaced the gas tank and sending unit, plugs, wires, all filters..etc . When I opened the gas tank for the first time it stunk of turpentine (bad gas). Replaced thermostat. Instead of priming the oil pump the I pulled the main ignition plug from the coil and cranked her for about a minute. That should pre-lube things without the fear of her firing over early. She smoked and kicked for about 5 minutes but she started and runs great. Good luck...

 

Got the radiator out. tomorrow I got to get spark plugs out and I'm just gonna use diesel fuel in the cylinders since no one in town as that marvel mystery

 

you could just pour regular oil in the cylinders

 

well tonight i found the same thing basically as that marvel. and i blasted the cylinders and i was curious about turning it and the crank bolt was like tighting up and the crank didnt turn so i dont know. might try just turnin it over by just putting a battery in it and just hit the start button.

oh and my dad designed the headers on 1 side so dumb you cant get 1 spark plug out so ima try to figure out what to do about it

 

the problem with cranking the engine with the starter, is that if any of the valves are rusted, it'll just bend the push rods and possibly damage the lifters

 

Well I really don't want to snap the crank bolt off but we will see what happens today

 

well so far i got it to turn over a half a turn, and all valves are moving but the rear 1 on the drivers side but i soaked everything in the stuff i bought and we will see if i can get it turn more tomorrow. might have it running by saturday

 

careful you dont bend the push rod on the rear valve

 

well im stuck i barely got it anymore and still nothing on that 1 valve.....so i dont know what to do now

 

pulling the head and taking the valve off by hand is one option
or, pour oil directly onto the valve, and then try to turn

 

just pour oil on the head so it seeps down and around the valve? what kind would be the best for this any kind?

 

any engine oil would be ok

 

well i filled both heads with oil and we will see what happens tomorrow

 

well today i went out to the garage and i guess theres no plug in the oil pan and all the oil i poured on the heads went through the motor and on to the floor.and the best part, it still wont break look, guess im just gonna use the starter if it bends a rod oh well

 

but if it bends a rod, you might damage the cam and lifter

 

oh well its not gettin anywhere with me just busting my hands up and i already have a cam and crap for it

 

hey 63 im looking for your other post but if its all you are doing is starting it up after a long sit for one do not spray wd40 in it and use marvel like 78 says and to get it going first off put like valvoline 10-30 in it to begin with and just start that puppy , it will oil itself just dont rev it up to much but keep it to about 1000-1500 rpms for a few min' and you will be fine and after you have run it for awhile change the oil again and use a little heaver weight oil like hm 10-40 valvoline and drive the crap out of it .... ill keep looking for your other post but if all your doing is starting it just start it .... i also recomend using like lucas HD oil stabilizer with the second oil change ---- go ahead and drive it

 

so your saying it wont hurt anything to just go ahead and fire it up?
