I recently pulled my uncle's 1949 chrysler Royal out of storage. It was sitting for 27 years in the garage... anyway, aside from the wiring being totally useless and in need of replacement, the only problem i have is the engine has no compression. I have put marvel mystery, motor oil, even a little gear oil down the cylinders, but no return of the compression.
This has the flathead "spitfire" 6 cylinder engine. It spins over freely... way too freely.
Anyone have a method i might not have considered? I'm willing to try a lot of things before i pull the engine from the car... i'm hoping to at least get it running before I have to do that. The thing only has
92,000 original miles on it.
