The barn find 62 TR4 that arrived yesterday sat without a cylinder head (I obtained one seperately) for nearly 3 decades. Today I dropped the sump and all the lower end had been sitting in oil and, without disassembling the big ends, appears to be good. The bores seems pretty good, but I am unable to turn it over manually using the fan or backdriving from the rear wheels with it in gear (it's up on jack stands). I poured oil onto the piston tops and #'s 1, 2 & 3 drain down, while it pools in #4. So I'm guessing that #4 rings are stuck.
I was wondering whether to put it back on its wheels and try gently moving it in gear. Any advice on freeing this up, or should I be resigned to disconnecting the pistons and pulling out the applicable liner?
Thanks
