Being this engine sat outside for years, does the crankshaft turn? A guy gave me a type 4 engine that sat outside and when I removed the heads the pistons were seized in the bores. Not even worth using for a boat anchor.

I have purchased these before and have found there are not many salvageable parts. |

My friend/mechanic had one of these sitting outside for 10 years, brought it in the shop changed the fuel and some other bits and started the car, and after a few minutes was idling normal. Maybe i will be lucky,but 4 years makes a big difference. thank you all for your input. |
