Thanks for all the replies.
Pardon late update, went to Carlisle.
Well firstly, the distributor simply could not come off. I tried turning, jiggling while pulling, back in forth- nothing. Finally the body of the distributor broke off! Long story short, I had to break the around the shaft for the intake manifold to come off- to allow the heads to come off. the distributor shaft is still frozen!
As mentioned., the cylinder with the bent pushrod was simply nasty(thick gel like substance like substance, with rusty bore. Indeed a stuck valve. The other cylinder bores are a bit better, yet still bit rusty.
So now the engine cylinders are sitting with marvel mystery oil. I placed a breaker bar on the crankshaft nut, and tried to move the flywheel, and it as if the crankshaft was never meant to move!
So I hope it moves in a couple of days. If not the only alternative might be to take off crankshaft, and simply bash the piston off-Any other suggestions?
I feel the camshaft is garbage from the distributor experience, and even the cam followers seem a bit froze. I have mystery oil in there as well.
Should acetone be mixed with marvel oil to make it more effective?
Thanks all..
P.s- thanks for the link NC!
