[Spridgets] 1275 motor status

[BJNoSHOV8]

We soaked the last piston with PB Blaster overnight and attacked it 
again yesterday afternoon.  We hit it a lot, and hit it hard, and it 
seemed pretty solid.  I had hit is some from the top using a large 
socket of about 2" outside diameter, and hit from below using a brass 
punch a little over 1" diameter.  We stood the engine up and hit it from 
the top again, and I started hitting it as hard as I could.  We seemed 
to move the piston down about 1/4" so we turned it over and started 
hitting from underneath.  It seemed solid so we got up on a stool so we 
could hit it harder and finally got it to move, then it came out pretty 
quickly.
