I'm not sure. Funding is the major issue right now. The wife's medical bills are kind of kicking our ***. And, the damn 390 I had in the garage, that I was going to sell for the trip, is locked up tight as a drum at the moment. So, we'll see if I can get that thing spinning again. Might still go, just might be somewhat later that I had hoped for.

Oh I understand how that is.

Did you pull the plugs and spray the cylinders with penetrating fluid. Sometimes the rings get a bit of rust on them from sitting.

How is the wife btw?

Wife is doing fine, thanks for asking, bud. I pulled the heads off, and hosed the cylinders down with PB blaster. I'll keep that stuff on them for a few more days, then see if I can spin it free.

Glad she is doing well. That can be hard on the family.

Hope the engine is ok. It would stink if it needed a rebuild.

Well, it either is good, or it's scrap. I'm not planning on using it, so I was going to sell it anyway. But, that's about 500 bucks I'd be out if this thing is junk, and that'll really screw up my plans for my trip up northwest.

Yeah I bet. I'm betting it will loosen up. The cylinders aren't hydro locked are they?
