Re: Removing stuck pistons
I haven't tried the evaporust on a stuck piston yet. My thoughts were that eliminating the rust bond between the rings and the cylinder wall with a non damaging product like evaporust might be a better first step than applying force.
I know these pistons are stout but i would be concerned about breaking or deforming a ring land with the grease gun method.
On my 478 I used a mix of trans fluid and diesel in the cal, and built a torque plate to attach an impact to the end of the crank. Two or three second burst, reversing each time, several times a day broke it loose.
Do you have the heads off, or is this one of the engines that was stored without the heads? if so how do they look?
