[Roadsters] Second Posting

[robert k. smith]

hi frank, i just rebuilt a frozen engine, and the key to getting it free

is to remove the crank shaft, so you can work on each piston

by itself.(soak w/ penetrating oil for days, then use a cut down

2X4 piece of wood, and at least a 2 lb. hammer) if you dont remove

the crank shaft, you are trying to move all 4 stuck pistons at the

same time. btw, i was able to re use the stock pistons, and just

hone the cyls.(a lot). a .020 over bore and new pistons are nice

if your budget allows. good luck, bob smith, ohio
