[Vwdiesel] Freeing pistons...Crazy Ideas??

[Harmon Seaver]

 You're right, these are a bit crazy -- I'd use heat before much pressure or
pounding. In a VW rabbit engine, maybe the loss of a rod or a deformed piston is
no big deal, but in a 1932 Kohler light plant it certainly is. Slow and careful
is the way, not force.
