alright so i ran into another snag in the gears. over the last 2 weeks i have been putting marvel mystery oil into each of the cylinder heads via spark plug hole. so today was the day i got the first reaction from the machine. i had a pry bar in on one of the flywheel teeth(not the best place but i work with what i got) and finally got some wiggle room.my dad actually has a vg4d not the vh4d and he said that it should be as difficult as it is to move the flywheel but i fell like if it isnt difficult then i run the risk of a blown head gasket? with his motor he said he can turn it with his fingers but then that shows lack of compression am i right? i cut a hole into the back of the chasis so the nut that is on the end of the camshaft can be accessed with a 1 5/8" deep socket hopefully i can get more movement throughout the cylinders. Im basically really trying to avoid tearing the heads off of this machine because of not wanting to pour money into it. i know this thread was not very productive but i want professional opinions. so please help me out
I cant really offer too much advise to your question but i have heard and witnessed that dumping transmission fluid down the cylinders is the best way to free up a frozen up motor. Good luck, those old Wisconsins are a real treat! When you do get her running make sure you have a full tune up kit with you at all times, points, condensor, cap, rotor, plugs (Champion D-21 only i believe, they burn hotter) and at least a spare plug wire. We had three or four of these motors in manlifts and couldnt get through a whole job without replacing plugs and points or rebuilding a carb.
