New here. I recently bought a 6x6 truck with a 350 Cummins. The engine is seized, there was no air cleaner on it and the turbo was sticking up out of the hood so its been exposed to the elements. Sat for about 10 years. Obviously I want to free it up.
I tried towing it in gear with a loader and it is seized solid. I dropped the oil, no water in it and it was pretty clean. I took the valve covers off and the oil filler must have let some moisture in, the rockers have some surface rust. Im thinking about pulling the heads, but i was wondering if anyone had some advice? Maybe i could take the injectors out and get some penetrating oil in there and a boroscope? Im thinking I might just be better to pull the heads and clean the cylinders up since it has been sitting.
