i pull plugs, soak for a day, with marvel oil, or PB BLASTER!!!fill the motor up with oil, so bottom end get soaled, or PB blaster,$28 for a gallon,,, next day, try to turn motor over, drain, leave plugs out,, crank, clear oil out, new plugs, etc start...,
yes, pulling the head is easy, and pan,,, is were i go next,, dont force it,, a gentle tug, on the fan, with preassure on the belt, can tell you lots, but i have a few motors here the turn all the way,, and then stop,,,,, then i turn all the way back,, and stop... i suppose stuck valve, lifter etc,, jc
