Red,

I had similar stuck piston problems with my Super M. After soaking with every different kind of remidy for months, I finally drilled holes in the piston and cut between the holes with a sawzall. The piston loostened and came out. There was an incredable amount of "stuff" packed between the rings on the piston. I then went out and found a used, matching piston and put new rings in all cylinders. I was lucky to find a matching piston from a guy who works on tractors for a living and actually dug it out of the trash.

The cylinder walls escaped undamaged so after much work and a gasket set, it is working very well with no knocks and no oil use. I did hone all cylinder walls before the new rings.

Good luck Red and keep us posted.

Bob
