Victory is mine! Pulled the plugs, filled 'er up with Fluid Film (no one in any stores here in Canada had even heard of Marvin's Mystery Oil) which is a pretty good penetrator. Rocked it today in 2nd gear, and sha-zam, fluid film shooting out the plug holes. Never been happier to see such a mess. So I just tapped the starter, and it's cranking hard, more fluid film shot out. I'm going to wait until tomorrow, and then put everything back together, and turn it over for real. Can't wait! Thanks so much for the help/advice, I'm one step closer. :) Daniel
