[AT] test

[Cecil Bearden]

I have had very good luck with KROIL penetrating oil for loosening up 
stuck pistons.  If there is a cylinder with the valves closed I put a 
spark plug air fitting in the plug hole, and put air on it to push the 
oil through.  If needed, I adjust the valves to where they are 
closed.    That v-8 flathead may be a little hard to adjust the valves.  
It has been a long time.  I have a v-8 flathead mercury industrial from 
a military forklift that was barely running when we took it out...
