Hi to all, I have the four pistons out and would like to free the rings from all the four of them out. They are all cooked in solid from overheating. I don't know a sure way of getting them free again. Would it be some kind of boiling them in something for a few hours? Anyone knows this? Best wishes, Zoltan |
