Great stuff! Exactly what I needed to know. Overhead rig with that lifting hoist sounds like the way to go. I appreciate all the help.

So I've been working on this a little bit at a time over the past couple of weeks. I'm stubborn and see other posts where guys had seized engines and water on the cylinders and able to bring them back to life. I've narrowed down some of the water in the cylinders to rain water leaking in...

Following a couple of suggestions above, removed glow plugs and put MM oil in holes. Did this twice over the last few days. Engine turning by hand is getting easier. A few days ago, i tried the starter and water shot out of the driver side gp holes. It only spun the engine 90 degrees before it...
