Free at last. The engine finally "let go" and now spins freely. The alcohol soak (I took the back plate of the crankcase) around the front bearing and connecting rod (two days worth) did most of it but after that I soaked the crankcase in glow fuel and that seemed to really loosen things up. I was able to start it and run it on the test bench tonight for about 15 minutes. Thanks for all the help. It's going on a little fun fly soon.
