Ok car sat over winter and until a month ago when I did timing. spark plugs were already out. it has a big problem. the starter will not turn the car over unless the plugs are out and its pretty damn hard to turn over by hand. now it didnt do this before and I had the plugs removed for a little while it sat. probrably caused flash rust. what else can I do?????
what i did was spray penetrating oil into the spark plug holes and let it sit. then I put some motor oil in the cyliners(half cap full) just to lubricate it enough without causing hydrolock. still, no crank over. timing is dead on. so I go to spin the motor by hand, nothing. but turning it backwards half a turn worked. I did that a few times and now my motor turns over with the starter slowly not powerfully. and only with the plugs out or it cant turn over. im thinking about pulling the head........ suggestions?
