Cr 480 fix up/ Step #1

First I need to get the engine unseized-
 
  I first took of the spark plug out and added a mixture of (1/3 wd40/ 1/3 gun cleaner/ 1/3 transmission fluid) and let it sit in the cylinder for 2 weeks.

  After 2 weeks i tried pull starting it with my quad. Their was no luck with moving the piston, so then i decided to take off the head and try moving it with a block of wood and a hammer. The piston was all the way at the top of the cylinder, so i hammered the cylinder down a 1/2 an inch just enough to get it moving. Then I let PB blaster sit in the cylinder for 2 days to loosen it up, i was able to move it down 1 more inch. Now i will let it sit for another 2 days and try moving it down one more inch. P.S you can not hit the piston down all at once, if you do you have a good chance of breaking the crank bearing.
