Well I finally soved one problem just to end up with another- isn't that just the way it is with a Vanagon? 
The battery went out in�my other�'82 Vanagon� inline-four engine. Not my Westy, but one I got in '06 that has a Scirocco engine . It ran fine for three days, then stopped running. I spent time here and time there trying to figure it out. 
Finally, I gave up on the CIS system that was so hacked anyway by the PO that I ripped it all out and replaced it with Digifant 2.

Ok, so next ,the battery went out. I get a good battery. Now the starter craps out. I get a good starter which took several months to accomplish.
Now the engine will not turn . Not even with a breaker bar and cheater pipe.
�
It's not hydro-locked, but it has sat for 2 years in the driveway. SO of course this means the rings rusted to the cylinder walls. 
So I sprayed LPS in every cylinder . 
How long does that take to work- any better ideas? 
We are normally 60-100% humidity here in the PNW so I am not surprised it froze. 
Just that on other engines that froze I was able to break�them free with a breaker bar. This one seems that I would break the bar if I could stand on it. 
Could I attach the towbar and break it free by towing? Anybody done that before?
