well .......after soaking will numerous sovents for 3 days I finally Got them All to move a inch . I 'll soak them again with sea foam deep creep tonight and will push them out tomorrow. What a JOB !
So here's how I got them out ....... with a Broom handle cut to length to use from inside on the side bosses of the piston and then for the top side I chiseled down a 4x4 block of wood ....shaped it for 3.63 bore and then shaped the wooden head of the block to the shape of the top of piston dome . so it would hit evenly across the piston . then Gave it a good wack and it moved. soaked it some more . wacked it back and forth until they all moved some . take them all out tomorrow .
Then........... got the rings off two of the pistons. Man the were a bare ! hardest part was trying to get a tool started where the gap was. . Had to make a tool for that too. Shaped an awl to the width of the top ring lands . and a few pics ... just kept tapping until it broke a piece off then the rest was a piece of cake .
A big shout goes out to Rusty for insisting I use sea foam deep creep. I Really think that was the clincher that got them loose . It's a nice foam that does creep. Thanks Rusty and All you guys for your help.
