You need heat and penetrant to get things loosened up.  Dissimilar metals
corrosion is likely to be the problem.  It's always tough to get stuck cyls
out of the spigots.

Still  have not been able to  free two piston cylinders stuck in the block
(2.1L).


Any tricks to non-destructively extricate them? I have tried several
impact based motivation to no avail.
TIA,
Ken
