Will it Run! 1963 Chevy C10 Sitting for 48 Years? 

Thanks, and I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. We'll stay stong for them.

Hey Jim. I'm glad it is coming off that way. I really wanted to have it feel like you're invited into my shop and hang out. I love the name of yours. I will have to go look at it.

My channel is all over the place. I like to present as one on one, but many different subjects. @@Exit45Restorations

@@JimsIfitaintbrokefixit got ya. I'm going to go look at some of them.

I have thought of doing that too. Most likely I will do that before I remove it. I'm glad it worked for you and I hope it works on mine too.

Same here. I had an old truck with a standard trans. I tried the usual solvents and when nothing worked, my dad pulled it 5-10MPH with me riding the clutch enough on and off to bind up the motor. Didn't want to pop it but I would have as a last resort. After a few tries it broke free. It's worth a shot. Best of luck. Also nice to see you're and your wife are taking care of your mothers.

I've tried many things and with the condition og the piston this enging shouldn't be started. I plan to pull it and rebuild it for my daughter's Jeep. I'm not sure how much it will.cost but it shouldn't be very expensive.

That sounds great. I wish the pistons weren't damaged on mine so I could get it going. I'll pull it and rework it.

Thank you! That means a lot.

I think my camera was reversing the image on me so I think that's what was happeniing. The engine hasn't moved

Darn....I thought there was hope.@@Exit45Restorations

Thank you so much

Thanks for commenting Peter. I'm not sure about the aluminum and acid, but the pistons looked like that prior to putting in the acid. Also, both would have been eaten up the same if it was the acid. The bad cylinder had some kind of metalic grit in it when I pulled the head, and I'm pretty sure that was the piston. It's so hard to know what all happened in those cylinders with it sitting for 48 years. I'm glad your watching and got started watching will it runs long ago too. Never thought I would do one. I have tried all those things and no luck. I will be pulling the engine and tearing it apart in the future.

I plan on taking that engine out and rebuilding it in a few months. I wanted to see if I could get the truck running with the original engine before I tear the truck down and rebuild it with a new engine. It was more me just seeing if I could take it for a short drive before it gets taken apart

That engine is coming out to go in my daughter's Jeep. I have a corvette that I'm taking the engine and suspension out of and using them on the truck. I have another video that goes into that.

That will be my next step. I would like for it to be freed up before I pull it to rebuild it

It's coming out and getting a rebuild then going into my daughter's Jeep. I have another engine for the truck. I just wanted to see how the engine looked and if it was rebuild able. The cylinder walls looked good and so did the valve train so it gets another like.
