I have a project motor in my shop too. It would bind up during hand rotation, so I took off the head to avoid damage..turns out a little rain must have gotten into #2 spark plug hole, and there was some rust on the cylinder wall. Sprayed it with a little stuff, and loosened right up. Now I gotta scrape the gasket and all that stuff...shoulda just sprayed some stuff in the plug holes, and it might have loosened up without yanking the head. I might try a compression test before you pull the head..unless you enjoy the tedious scraping. I have not touched mine since last fall now..too many other projects. :-)
