Speedy:

First thing tomorrow go to the Emergency Clinic and get a vaccination shot against, "Green Disease". The staff will look at you funny, but explain that you have been bitten by an incurable ailment to locate, chat, scout, buy and promptly disassemble old army vehicles. They will laugh, but be patient. The cure is still unknown, but its has consequences beyond belief. Fortunately, in Ontario the medicare system has an obligation to provide essential care to all residents.

[Speedy]

its to far, I had an exam and couldn't get a vaccination, now green disease has settled in.

I need to get this thing going to meet up with other addicts

[Lynn Eades]

Well most of us here are "registered users"

The green machine sickness is certainly world wide, the best side effect is the wonderfull people that you meet.

thanks guys

should have a visitor that restored a mb coming over to give me advice and see what I have.

I think the engines head needs to come off, I dont want to get to ahead of myself as I am new to vehicles. if I take the head off, what should I do if I take the head off?
still soak the cylinders? then try breaking them free?

or do you think I should continue soaking the cylinders with the head on by pouring diesel into the spark plug holes and wait? and avoid taking the head off all together?

If the pistons are frozen then the chances are good that the valve train is too. You'd best remove the head, inspect it and the valves for damage/pitting, then soak the cylinders until you can hand-crank the engine. Don't overdo the force in hand cranking as you'll risk damaging stuck valves as well. Once everything is moving, you can have a good look at the cylinder walls and decide at that point whether it might be better pulling the engine and sending it out for a rebuild... which may well be what's needed; if there's damage in the upper end, it's most likely the crank needs inspecting/grinding/new bearings as well. Better to do it now while you're in rebuild-mode!
