  1. Use WD40 or one of the other penitents,. the starting  will take any oil off  the cylinders and leave it clean and dry and what you want is  some lubrication.

    I LIKE TO  PUT A GOOD DOSE OF STABLE IN THE GAS AND RUN THE MOTORS ENOUGH TO  GET THE STABLE  UP IN THE ENGINE BEFORE LETTING IT SET

    IT DOSENT HURT TO  TAKE THE HAND CRANK OR  THE FAN BLADE AND BELT AND TURN THE MOTOR OVER 16 TIMES, By turning  the motor 16 times youll will have made all the valves to move.

  2. before you go far take all 4 plugs out and see if you ha cylinders you wont need a gage   for this  you can  have someone turn the motor with the starter and  you can  put a finger or thumb in the spark plug hole compression on all 4  if you have any  or all with no pressure  you have some stuck valves..

     if you find  a stuck valve  put a table spoon of oil down the  spark plug hole and spin the motor with the starter it may come lose. you can do this on all 4 cylinders.

     

    We will talk more if you find stuck valves

  3. see if the battery has  enough amps to turn the motor  ?

    The battery now 4 years old can be weak, may still be rechargeable

    You should check the water in the battery. and clean the cables  and the battery posts.

  4. My 39 was modified  before I got it. It had a 3 speed and  the drive shaft was closed a ways back and then it was open to 1954 chevy  rear end.

     I found a 1937 GMC 1 1/2 TON And the drive shaft was open all the way , I shortened it and put the old 4 speed in it and  shortened the shaft to fit and that is what it is running now .

    I do have a 4 speed out of a 1953 GMC 3/4 TON That is a sinkro  but don’t know what all I will need to  fit that in.

    I still have the 3 speed and all, i seldom get rid of anything  I have the 37 11/2 but it is rough and  parts missing the motor is still there and the rear end.

  5. I HAVE A 1946 Chevy 3/4 pu  with a 4 speed tranny in  it

    WILL THIS TRANY BE A SYNCHRONISED TRANNY OR how can  I tell for sure ?

     Tranny is still in the truck and the motor is stuck.

    If the trany is a SYNCHRONISED I would get it out and put it my 1939  Chevy  pu.

    With old age and heart troubles I think I would like the SYNCHRONISED tranny better and my grandson has no idea how to double clutch!
