i'm working on a 1939 F-14. i had the cylinders full of auto tranny fluid and kerosene for about 10 months. two of the pistons looked good, one had a bit of rust around the edge between the piston and cylinder, and one had a good bit of rust, but wasn't a corroded mess. the engine was quite stuck though. i took all four rod caps off and used a block of wood to knock the two okay-looking pistons out the top of the block. the crank still wouldn't move due to the other two pistons being pretty stuck. i then took a big piece of brass rod (about 1" diameter) and banged on the rod ends. the one piston broke free after a couple of hits and them the wood block got it out the rest of the way. the last piston needed about 5 minutes of banging. granted, i wasn't smashing the hammer into the brass rod, but i was giving it good solid whacks with a medium-sized hammer. if it wasn't for the condition of the last cylinder, i probably could've cleaned things up and got new rings and re-used everything. i just opted for a complete piston and sleeve kit from Rice's though, as it cost about the same as having engine work done and buying new rings. andy b.
