Subject:      stuck cylinder help
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

hello collective wisdom I'm doing the head gaskets on my 87 and so far have 1 stuck cylinder (havent gotten to the other side yet) I've been hitting the head with a piece of wood and also the cylinder (gently) and carefully prying on the ears. I just sprayed it down with penetrating oil and have come in to check you guys and get a beer. any great ideas out there that have worked? would love to hear other peoples wisdom. I might try heat as well--is that ok? not to hot I'm assuming--dont need to warp anything. this it turning out to be quite a job--found one severely bent push rod and many other little things as well any help is appreciated mike
