[android 211]

There's a YouTube video of a guy who takes one out of junkyard thats been laying upside down for years and revives it. No compression, stuck lifters, filthy. He gets it running, takes off the rocker covers, hammers on the rockers with stuck lifters and gets them unstuck and cools it with a garden hose stuck in the water pump. After a few hours work its running and cranking compression has come up to the 130 psi mark on most cylinders. It was ready to be used as is.

Not sure if this is the vid you're referring to, but it's entertaining.
