I have been soaking the pistons in ATF and acetone for two months, I decided to remove the crankshaft to see if I could at least get some of the pistons out. So far the answer is no... I tried using a 2.5" diameter piece of wood and a BFH to see if I could get any movement. I am not above moving it to my 12 ton press and seeing what that can do.
The engine is a OHV six cylinder from a 64 Commander. The head does not have any detectable cracks so now I want to see if the bottom end is salvageable. The crankshaft looks better than the one from my Lark, but the wrist bearings on the pistons are seized as well as the pistons themselves.
Any ideas?
