I've never messed with a stuck piston, but I'm with JIM and tom on this one. It makes no sense to just go smashing things because they have no value when they are near things with alot of value. Just one wrong move and u could have more problems then its worth. Take the time to either soak the pistons and get them out first, then run a bead of weld up the sleeve and pullem out, or do as jim suggested. There is no way in H e l l I would risk ruining a block because of haste or carelessness.

Sure u might get lucky with a smash and burn tactic, but if you arent, then its off to a salvage yard for a block (and probly have issues with it needing reworked).
