ATF and acetone 50/50 mix to soak awhile. The propane torch to piston tops and let cool cycle a few times with the extra lube squirted to cylinder walls-not the hot piston tops. A chunk of 2x4 or fire wood block that fits top of piston and a 10 pound hammer from the Harley shop. Chains or rods around block stopping hydraulic jack set on top of the wood blocks on piston- then pump up jack to force down the piston if it doesn't break. Some but not extreme jack pressure on top of piston then taps with hammer to get some vibration to flake off rust on rings to cylinder wall. aluminum and iron cylinder liners corrosion is hard film interference but somewhat lesser bind than steel ring to steel liner rust. couple wood blocks from the bottom like a forked tenon or 2 large sticks at sides of rod clamped together and then jack pressure from bottom to get some movement- don't do this for TDC piston if ridge is much interference. 1/4 teaspoon of gasoline to top of piston and light it- alcohal can work some also- this is lesser alternative to propane torch. Alcohal burner, small camp cooker from bottom to heat piston and cylinder walls, then put some heated engine oil or ATF/Acetone or shot of PB Blaster to edge of piston, cylinder walls and top of piston to cool it quicker than the heated cylinder walls/liner. Have fun, keep large fire extinguisher and bandaids handy. RN
