Bill, we once started a 6 cylinder HJ in Dec to have a visiting mechanic listen to it run. Unfortunately shut it off before the engine came up to operating temp.  When spring came it was seized up so tight - we pulled it with a large truck and popped the clutch in all three gears over and over and could not break it loose. Finally had to pull the engine and drive the pistons out with a  BFH and a block of wood. I hope you have better luck with this one. Of course, the Marvel Mystery Oil may do the trick if you let it do its job.
