[Vwdiesel] Water in Cylinder tricks. ( freeing rusted pistons )

[weasel]

I know of a bunch of people who used to used diesel fuel to help break free
stuck pistons.  Fill up the bores as much as you can and then try to break
them like Hagar suggests.  Hope all you need is a hone !

Forrest I have been there many times with all kinds of engines. I would
follow Val Christians advice and use liquid wrench  ---let soak. Then the
BIG sledge and a block of wood.. Turning crank with a breaker-bar on crank
sprocket bolt.

Amazing how some engines recover after  something like that.     And I
thought my 300 dollar one was a special .       Tell us how far down are the
pistons.  ???       Hagar.
