Pressure washed the rest of the debris out of the engine compartment, dried it out, and WD-40’d the spark plugs. The pressure washing didn’t even touch the road grime build up, but did get the loose dust and remaining cob webs out so that nothing would fall into the spark plug holes.
Pulled plugs, and drizzled some motor oil down each cylinder. Bought a nice long 1-1/8” open-ended wrench to put on the crankshaft bolt. With only a little push, she turned! Good air and gurgling out of each cylinder, except #4. Since there were no bad noises, Joey thinks maybe just the valve is stuck open.
Checker Auto Parts of Sedona had a battery in stock. Now to acquire the proper fluids, filters, and do something about the sure-to-be nasty gas tank…
Special thanks to Joey Steiner of the Jeepin' Bug for his enthusiastic help!
