I have restored four tractors that have had stuck engines now and I have attempted to soak the cylinders with everything I could think of. I allowed plenty of time for that process to work and I have never had any luck. I have also used the spark plug adapter and pressure but that only resulted in a bent rod. Once I took the engine apart I was really glad that I did take it apart because of what I found. Even if a solvent works to break the piston loose I have to wonder what happens to all the crud that has built up between the rings to cause it to stick in the first place. There are many different things to do to unstick and engine and sometimes they do work well. For me I have found that taking the engine apart to actually see what has happened to stick the engine in the first place is time and money well spent. I will admit that I enjoyed the process too! Good luck with it, Bob
