Steven, I am not trying to be a SA on this, but the engine did not lock up over night or even in a month. If you are trying to get the pistons out for a low dollar rebuild, just keep waiting. I had one that was lock, had no head, had been exposed to the elements, in a shed, though, I put tranny fluid in it, let it sit for a couple months, took off rod caps, a long wooden dowel, put inside bottom of piston, tapped with a BFH, 3 about fell out, one was a bugger, but I got it out, destroyed the piston doing it, but patience is the best thing. If in a hurry, and you are doing new sleeves and pistons, you can blow a hole in the middle of the pistons, it will relieve some of the pressure and help get them out, then pull your sleeves, put new ones in and you are good to go. Every one has a differant idea on how to do this, but this way has worked for me on a couple of frozen engines. Jim
