Have you poured any transmission fluid into the cylinders? Let them soak. I used a piece of 2X2 oak to drive them out on an A. Several pistons came out with the sleeves. A torch heating them freed the pistons. You need to look
at the crankshaft to see if it's rusty and may need machining. I pulled the engine from the A.
It's a lot easier to work on. You can rent an engine hoist. I rented one from our local rental center and it came on a pallet. I ask for a 2 minute instruction on how it went together, it wasn't that hard to assemble. It was rated at 2 tons. I rented it twice, once to pull the engine
and for the installation. Hal
