Good thing the cylinders were greased before sitting 40years with no cylinder head.
I thought the engine was seized.
After a good cleaning with degreasers i was surprised the engine actually turned over with a hand crank :)
I was told the car was parked because it was burning oil, after cleaning the tops of the pistons, I found that 3 of them have chipped around the top ring.

Looking for 3 pistons.

The cylinder bore look good
