Blew up my 440 with automatic trans and.....

We just tore down a 318 that was frozen up from sitting outside too long.

That's the approach we were using, luckily we were able to break the pistons free with a hammer and piece of wood banging on top of them. We were able to break one piston free at a time. Go with the easy ones first, then start to go after the "harder" ones.

Our problem was pistons rusted to the walls, his is more of a bunch of junk all smashed together that's hanging up the crank.

He probably has rods wrapped around the crank with many pieces of piston and block mixed in also. In this case it's best to pull the easy pistons and rods, then sort through the shrapnel....


'It go "BOOM!!!"'
