I imagine this means that there's hope for the engine but that the
compressor is toast. I squirted some WD-40 into the air cleaner
cavity on the underside of the compressor head in hopes that it will
dribble down and free it up.

My presumption is that the compressor is frozen from rust. On the
other hand the oil looks like new in both the engine and the
compressor.


Pull the compressor head and simply look. Use Kroil in the cylinders
and let them set for a bit. Then tap the pistons with a block of wood
and a hammer, and then try turning the flywheel.

Its not rocket science, and they dont have a water jacket to lean
though the head gasket and freeze up the cylinder.....sigh
