I've run into several t-20s and some other suz twins with this problem but have always managed to free them up with lots of penetrating oil and wedging up under the intake and exhaust ports a little at a time. Got a 69 t 350 with a severe case of the stuckies, the motor is free but the cylinders won't budge, almost afraid of breaking a fin or cases. Any suggestions?

Have you tried tapping a bit of wood on to the top of the piston?? I know it's brutal but the impact sometimes frees things up..... |

If it is badly stuck there is not a lot you can do - I left one soaking in oil for 8 years!!!! and it still didn't come free!
I had to smash the piston to pieces dy drilling through the crown and then drilling or chiselling any bits that were left! (I used a SEVERE hammering attack first but to no avail..)
After seeing the state of the crankshaft though I might as well have cut through the connecting rod....
Not very helpful this I know, but sometimes they really are irremoveable! |

fellas,
I don't mean the pistons or cranks, I'm talking about the cylinders themselves, motor turns over very free, can't budge the cylinders.
