There are varying degrees of being stuck. You don't really know until you get inside. You want to take out the spark plugs and pour some lubricant/penetrant into the cylinders and let it set for a while - sometimes even several weeks. Some will loosen up after soaking for a while. Some will run fine after loosening up with minimal work. Some never will loosen up. I have an old pickup with a flathead V8 that I hoped would loosen up. After soaking for six months I ended up having to drive one of the pistons out with a hammer and it resisted the whole way. I had to machine the block and put in two sleeves to fix that. Then all new pistons, new valves, new camshaft, turn the crank, replace a couple rods - you get the idea. It cost about $2500 to totally rebuild that motor. But listening to it run now gives me a lot of pleasure. For me it is hobby money. You are in a different position so you should proceed with caution. It is a lot of fun but it can get expensive. ADB

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
