I recently sold Tom Windsor a stuck H engine complete with head when he was returning home from the RPRU.I had been soaking the cylinders off and on for a while on it and thought that this might work.I would leave the head on it and take the rocker shaft off and make sure all the valves are closed.Next I would pull the crank out and put the engine on an engine stand and set it right side up so the rods are hanging straight down.Now you need to put together an adaptor to fit into the sparkplug holes with a grease fitting on the end.You need to place something soft like a wadded up tarp or an old blanket under the block just in case a rod pops out under pressure.I would pump it full off grease one cylinder at a time and apply moderate pressure because Im not sure if this could damage the liners if they are salvagable.Essential this should work just like a press.Any pressure you put on top of the piston will be multiply by the square inch of surface on the piston.Is this a crazy idea or could this be a possble solution for a lot of stuck engines.P.S. I would use the cheapest grease available cause cylinders with the piston stuck on the bottom of the stroke will take alot of grease.Maybe filling the cylinder with oil first then pressurizing with grease next might be another solution.Im am interested in the responses this will get.Look forward to hearinf from all of you....River Bottom Farmer
