Anyways, on with the dismantling:
What would you do?
The crank will turn---with effort and i was able to get #3 out with no problems after getting 3+4's rod journal to BDC. However, #4 won't move even after pounding with a hammer and pipe with rubber on the end of it:
Also, there
might be some new cracking caused by moving that #4 piston up and down in the bore:
Would it be better to take this piston out from the bottom or top? There hasn't been any ridges on the cylinders of the pistons i've taken out so far and #4 doesn't
appear to have one either.
P.S. When turning the crank, #4's exhaust lifter, which is still stuck in there did not appear to move. Just thought i would throw that in there for anyone who is still curious; The timing chain is still connected.
