another vote for setting it on fire.

even a couple of times.

I also use a jack and wood block to put

upward pressure on a crank throw/rod end going 'up'

(gently)

when pounding on a piston going 'down'

remember to keep moving the fire and jack around.

see one piston twitch in it's bore, move to another.

even if one is free, the others are still stuck.patience

fire has worked on every tough one except one for me.

That one, after getting the rod cap nuts off with a

modified wrench and a lot of work(socket wouldn't go where they were)

I fitted a BIG chisel carefully up to sit on the piston bottom,

trying not to damage the rod little end and beat the piston and sleeve out together,

then torched off the sleeve to save the rod

edit: just to add on the fire, was trying to free up a Ford once,

pounding to no avail. set all 4 holes on fire, jacked a rod end up until the front of the tractor just raising. 20 minutes later I heard it settle to the ground. free!
