OK, SBC in a boat, Mercruiser 260 outdrive....the engine turned over about 6 months ago....NOW, i'ts totally locked up tite...prybars, pipewrenches, you name it....tried it ALL.....will not budge.....upon assy into the boat last summer/fall season, it spun freely.....and was taped up tight on intake, exhaust, carb....the whole thing....
but now, these last couple/daze the thing will NOT turn over...period....
we have tried MAX force...nada.....
it was under two layers of plastic, and a modern tarp==plastic/fiber...
no evidence of any water ever in the boat...
we tried pulling the storage plugs and doing WD40 overnight, we tried priming the oil pump early this afternoon....dropped the starter which tries but locks down never spinning....and prying with bars and a stilson on the front crank....nothing...will NOT move....
I wasn't there, but TWO good frineds said it did turn over last fall....
need clues guys...outta ideas....
