The new project is almost apart. I can't get the stearing head bearings out. I've sprayed penetrating oil on them, heated them, and whacked them as hard as I dare with a drift and hammer. Does anyone have any good suggestions?
Problem number 2. I removed the head. The pictures show the condition inside the combustion chamber. Apparently some sort of critter made its home in one side. The picture is after removing 1/2 cup of crap. The head is now soaking in penetrating oil and I've alternated soaking, heating and tapping on the pistons to break them loose. I show these pictures just so you can be amazed at the great looking and running Commando this will become (I hope!). It is a challenge.
