Lockwood Ash used Brewster Green on most of their engines.

If your engine doesn’t loosen up by the previous mentioned methods try these options. If the rings are above the ports, fill the cylinder full with fluid of choice (diesel for me) then make a 1/2” pipe to grease fitting adaptor for the spark plug hole and use the grease gun to hopefully get the piston moving. If rings are below the ports, remove the cylinder mount bolts and disconnect the connecting rod thru the inspection cover on the left side of the engine. With the cylinder removed you will then be able to use a 4” OD pipe or slightly less to tap or press on the piston skirt to get it moving. DO NOT PUSH THE PISTON ALL THE WAY UP the rings will expand in the combustion chamber and the piston would require removal in pieces. Once it starts moving, in either direction, you should be able to work it out..

Nice looking engine but the timer looks like it’s from a Gray Marine Engine. The Lockwood Ash timers are nice and make reversing easy.

Hope this helps and good luck,
