Yeah!! After several months of soaking and pounding I finally got the 10-20 pistons to move a little, about an inch back and forth. Do I need to keep working it to get a complete revolution or should I proceed to remove the rod caps and try pounding the pistons out from below? The head was a mess with mouse nests on the top of the cylinders and lots of corrosion (mouse pee, etc.). Bottom end looks great; crank, rods, caps and cam all lubed and shiny. I don't have much work room since the engine is still mounted in the frame and I'm doing it in a small garage. I've never done a project like this before and want to thank everyone for all the help you've given me with this project so far. I still have a long way to go but todays success has given me new inspiration. Thanks in advance for any additional guidance you can provide.
