Subject:Help! Piston sleeves stuck
From:Don & Christina Preston
Date:Sat, 21 Oct 2000 17:09:53 -0700

Hi all,

Today I began working on replacing the head gasket on the right side of my engine. Only problem is, the piston sleeves are stuck to the head. I don't want to pull the head off with the sleeves attached, per Boston Bob's directions....

So, what to do? I can see them through the gap between the block and head and they look kinda rusty. Am I outta luck? Can I use some kind of chem to break it free?

Thanks,

Don Preston
