fixerupper said: (quoted from post at 20:35:06 09/22/08) An Idea I heard just this weekend is to pull the head and lay a rag soaked with ATF on the piston, then light the rag on fire. The person I talked to claimed the ATF is a very high detergent oil and as the rag burns and heats the cylinder, hot oil will creep down the sides of the piston. Anyone else heard of this idea? Jim
Heard of that but never tried it; also a variaiton without pulling the head by putting a wick down the spark plug hole. In this case, I think head gaskets are pretty available, but I'm trying to go with the simplest techniques first.
I've also read about using a "portapower" instead of compressed air, but unless the pistons can be clear of the crank, I just imagine nasty projectile motion. Also, I have no idea of the pressure those heads can take [I'm pretty sure 1Ksi would be OK, but have my doubts about 2 or 3], a bit hesitant there.
As El Toro noted, I've found soaking time [counted in months] usually helped enough, but I doubt it's the best or quickest.
What about that clutch? Somehow I can see it coming to digging it out and pulling it all apart, but with mine I was able to get enough penetrating oil into it without pulling it out that it went from stuck to sticky [probably not even the latter if I ran it more].

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
