Well I got back to the old girl last evening and have determined that the cam is what is stuck. After I drained about a gallon of water out of the base I could look into the cam from the top and she's plenty crusty in there!

I don't know yet if I should be optimistic or not. One one hand it is good that the water stayed in the motor at least the block is not busted but on the other hand I probably will still need to rebuild it. I could really use your guidance on this one.
thanks a million

Get the engine completely disassembled to the bare block. A big problem now may be the lifter bores, but they could be honed if need be. If you have that much internal rust, you need to have the block shotblasted to remove the rust. If you are extremely careful you might be able to sandblast it, but shotblasting is safer.
Another choice would be electrolysis, then there would be no worry about potential damage.
Once the block is cleaned and blasted, then magnaflux it to be sure there are no cracks. If it check out good, then you are on the way.

I guess I need to buy the service manual for this rig!
I shamefully admit to buying a manual on Ebay for 16.00 and it is no more that a poorly photocopied copy someone else bought. It is not even legible.
If you have one how do I buy one from you? I can't seem to locate a place on the site to make purchases.
Thanks

If at first you don't break it...try...try again........!
I have a new reprint. It is a reprint, but not a cheesy photocopy, it was professionally done from a good original.
Online ordering is SO expensive that for now I am not going to do it. The server space alone is cost prohibitive, let alone the cost of designing the system to do it. I am going to find a cheaper alternative some day, but for now, I am more concerned with keeping prices down.
