Based upon doing this “unlocking” several ways, the best way is leave it in the car and use chemicals to unlock it and 5th to get it moving again.
Once out of the car, it’s really hard to get the same amount of leverage safely without building some contraption. If you are being cheap, run it a bit, do a compression check, then choose your path forward. If you plan to rebuild it anyway, get it rotating, then (only then) remove it from the car. I did on lock one motor already out of a 356. It required a massive plastic tub full of chemicals and I left the block and cylinders submerged for a few weeks. I had to cut one cylinder off the piston….it sucked. |
