Hi All,
I finally managed to remove the pistons from my totally seized cylinder block. I tried WD40, vinegar, heating in the oven to 220 degrees C (wife not pleased), but in the end I had to beat them out. The pistons now are scrap and the block has a split skirt (spigot). Is it possible/recommended to bore out and have these re-lined or should I just go for a replacement?
Any thoughts?
Geoff.
