Subject:stuck cylinder help
From:Mike Blotz
Date:Mon, 2 Dec 2002 10:08:52 -0700

hello collective wisdom  I'm doing the head gaskets on my 87 and so far have 1 stuck  cylinder (havent gotten to the other side yet) I've been hitting the  head with a piece of wood and also the cylinder (gently) and  carefully prying on the ears. I just sprayed it down with  penetrating oil and have come in to check you guys and get a  beer. any great ideas out there that have worked? would love to  hear other peoples wisdom. I might try heat as well--is that ok?  not to hot I'm assuming--dont need to warp anything.  this it turning out to be quite a job--found one severely bent push  rod and many other little things as well  any help is appreciated  mike
