No more. After two years,today I finally broke the pistons loose without damage (I hope). Used Marvel Mystery Oil, Diesel fuel, Liquid Wrench, vinigar and lots of pounding. Told some guy about it this afternoon and he said "ya shudda used Iodine, it works bettern anything". Rats.

The iodine he was talking about can be bought at the drug store. it is the purple stuff in the little bottles. works good for aluminum distributor housings stuck in cast iron intake manifolds too!

It had not run for a few years befor I got it. I do intend to continue with the project until it does run but we have a long way to go. Since I am retired and every day is Saturday, I hope to have it running this year.

There's always some smart guy that knows an easy way after the hard work is done. The point is you did it, not the oils.

Glad to hear you got it freed up. Using iodine is a new one on me. Straight iodine crystals are very corrosive and the fumes are really nasty for people to breathe; I wonder what he meant . . . some sort of iodine solution??
