Mazda b3000 with ford Vulcan 3.0 v6. Prior owner overheated and blew the head gasket. Then he pulled the heads and let it sit a couple months so the pistons rusted in place.
We've freed up the engine with a can of liquid wrench and repeated soaks, wipe, brush. Then we put it in 3rd gear and slowly rocked it back and forth just a bit,'then a bit more... repeat until can empty lol. But the cylinders have cleaned up well and pistons are moving freely.
I've never done a head gasket before. Any advice or things to watch out for are appreciated
