Pulled the head and replaced head gasket and freed up the motor, acted like rust was stopping pistons from moving, but long story short, its running, will even run on it's own. Pops threw the throttle body once a great while, but every thing was rust and I dont have alot of funds for machining, so well see how it goes breaking every thing up on its own.

Please tell me you did more than just put new top end gaskets in the the engine. How did you clean the rust out of the cylinder? Steel wool & naval jelly? Flex-hone? Cylinder hone? Re-bore?
Judging from your pics, I'd guess you have / had water in the crankcase so the chances of rust in the main bearings would be pretty high. Also, I'd bet the piston rings are pretty rusty. There may be a good chance that one could break and scour the cylinder wall so bad that the block can't be re-bored.

Scotch brite, then flex honed, dont have the funds to really get it in a engine shop. Dropped oil pan and bottom end wasnt bad. Oil was black, no signs of water just sitting in the bottom end. I think most of the water came threw the intake I dont really care what happens they are projects forna reason lol. If the motor goes, itll have something else thrown in. Changed oil, plugs and coolant. The motor wasnt completly locked up, there was movement before i started working on it.
I'm just happy that there is a possibility of life in at least one. I have a bunch of break issues to solve before I can even test if the motor will take a load on it.
I'm beginning to think I started this thread in the wrong section[This message has been edited by Placebo42 (edited 06-15-2020).]
