hey guys , I am new . I hope to bug you with many questions in the future. lol
I will start by saying that I have a red 89 st165. I have been rebuilding it over the past year...till now.
I put the bare engine back in the car a couple months ago and everything was fine,but due to my work I didn't work onb it for several weeks and about 3-4 weeks ago i started working on it and it will no longer turn at all.
I was able to very slowly turn it with a breaker bar for about a third of a turn and then it ceased moving at all . I tried wd 40 in the cylinders for 10 days to no effect. I am on day 5 with marvel mystery oil and a little pb blaster still no movement other than a few mm back and forth at the flywheel,which was discovered during the wd40 stage.
SO seeking any advice or insight anyone might have as too my perdicament??????
p.s. I checked a rod bearing and a crank bearing and both still looked like i just put them on.
I guess tomorrow I will start making way for the head to come back off and start a more systematic check of the bearings.
