Re: stuck piston thoughts

I had luck with PB Blaster in almost the same surcumstance.   I tried a
couple of brands of penetrating oil and even diesel fuel was suggested. 
Friend gave me the PB Blaster to try and it worked over night!  Been a fan
of it ever since, might work for you?  Then again, the combination of all
the stuff I tried might have just done it too, and the PB was the proverbial
straw!

Nothing screams "poor workmanship" like wrinkles in duct tape.

Subject: stuck piston thoughts
 
I soaked the old 318 motor pistons with Marvel Mystery Oil for a week, but
was unable to get one of the pistons unstuck and pushed out of the block. No
budge even pounding on it with a small sledge and steel bar. It is amazing
how much power rust has! Anyway, I don't have a cutting torch but I was
thinking of using a sawsall to cut s chunk off the connecting rod so I can
remove the part of the rod connected to the crank and then hopefully turn
the crank so I can get to removing the other pistons.
 
The other thought was to use a propane torch to heat up the stuck piston to
see if that would help un-stick it.
 
Thoughts?
 
Thanks,
Gary H.
p.s., the block is going to scrap, but I was trying to save the crank.
