Seized piston impact options?



1. Please define crud (ie: carbon deposit or water/crap/oil deposit ?)
2. pb blaster for a week, then breakerbar with a long breaker bar should
turn that puppy over
3. alternatly you could use a rubber or wodden mallet to tap atop each
piston head to "dislodged presumed rusted rings from the chamber wall"
4. personhally I would take the bottom end out, bearings/cranks and all, and
then push the pistons out, if there IS rust (due to water deposit) I dont
think turning a rusty crank is going to help against" scarring the surface
of the bearing area on teh crank."

just my 2 cents worth.

->The wife gave me a free pass this afternoon and I finally got
->around to cracking open the ABA I bought a few months back (I got
->it cheaper because it wouldn't turn over - it was complete w/
->head, intake/exhaust mani's, T/B, fuel rail, so I didn't even
->blink for $175).
->
->Wow - there was sh*t-load of crud in chamber 4...anyway, all the
->chambers have been liberally doused with PB Blaster and will be
->refreshed twice a day for the next couple...
->
->I'm wondering if there's any kind of impact I could apply to the
->pistons w/o damaging them to assist the breakage. Could I use the
->handle end of a screwdriver? Would it even make a difference? Any
->other ideas?

->Hope you all are enjoying your weekend - Jeff (w/ son in rainy
->California!  :p  )
