Sounds like labor is cheap right now. Buff the paint out first and throw some wax on it.  Cheap and delivers high value thrills, gets the juices flowing.

 

Keeps us posted!

I can vouch that pulling the head isn't too bad. You could also just stick something long and skinny down the spark plug holes to check where your cylinders are if you're sketched out by pulling apart the motor right now.

Best rust-killer is 50:50 acetone/ATF. Try it before removing the head. It really works better than any of the commercial junk, has been written up in e.g., Grassroots Motosports and elsewhere but not advertised.

Looks like a austin bugeye sprite in the far corner, nice tr6. I still have dreems about my 1958 Triumph TR3 that I parted with in 1978 (paid for the last year of by BA). Sigh....

Try a big socket and break bar on the nut on the lower pulley, it's a big one 27mm, I think, that will turn the engine if it 's going to turn. Wath you knuckles, it's tight down there!
