Hi all
I finally got some decent weather to start working on the car.As I said earlier,it has been sitting since 85.I was told it had a blown head gasket.I pulled the plugs to lube the cylinders.3 and 4 were easy enough.#2 had signs of old anti freeze on the plug.I couldn't get #1 out with the tools I was using.The AC bracket is very close-will have to use diff socket I think.Does the anti freeze on the plug denote head gasket or a crack in the head itself? When I get the #1 plug out tand lube that cylinders,I am going to try to turn the engine over to be sure it isn't frozen.Hopefully not that much wrong.
Thanks
Bob in Wyoming
