    Wondering what works best for you when you have a piston that is stuck in a
    cylinder . The engine has been sitting for around 8 years and it is stuck
    good.
    What do you use ? I would like to use something that is readily available
    and not too pricey.
    I have heard of auto transmission fluid,diesel fuel and kerosene .

    Thanks,

    Soak the cylinder in brake fluid for several days if needed.

    liquid wrench-yellow can---walmart -k-mart ect, use a propane torch,
    get the bore hot, heat all around the block, it will expand the block
    taking pressure off the piston and let the penetrating oil down the
    bore, have a friend keep pressure where ever they can to rotate the
    motor while its hot.
