When trying to start the car the pistons and sleaves rusted together , Ive tried everything to get it loose , and my last resort filled the silinders with brake fluid and let it stand for a weak , Used a big spanner on the crank and it came loose , drove it like that for about two years before I replaced it with a 1275 motor.
