The bigest tool is patience. I have freed more old F-20s and Regulars than I ever care to remember. Some have taken up to a year to unstick some a week. Right now the Regular I have took two months and I am just now pulling the pistons. Pick your penetrant and allow to soak with the head off. Once a day whap each piston with a heavy sledge (8lb or so). A smaller hammer will brake things the big hammer moves things. DOn't keep banging on it. Just a Whap or so once a day and let the penetrant move. One day instead of hearing a whack! you'll hear a whunk! Keep tabs under the engine and watch for penatrant getting through to the floor. You know you are making headway then.

"PATIENCE" or a good check book. each can be substituted for the other. Good Luck!
