Hi
I'm just trying to sort out an old Land Rover - it's got a 2 1/4 petrol fitted to it. It's been stood for 25 years in a garage but the number 3 pistons stuck. Got the head off and dropped the sump but best I've managed so far is to drive it down a bit.
It'd been left for months before hand with duck oil in to try and free it off but doesn't seem to have worked. There's no rust on the bore but it took a bit of belting to get it to go down. Now maybe I should have tried driving it up but there I was ever hopeful of it freeing off.
Haven't got the gear to take the engine out so any bright ideas for getting this moving short of drilling the crown and trashing it?
Thoughts I'd had where boiling water in the block and freezer spray from under the piston to give a bit more room or getting an air hammer and a blunt chisel bit and trying to drive it back up that way. Can't really get any welly on it from underneath and trying to jack it up just lifts the motor.
Cheers
Baz
