Uh I have a slight problem.  Working on a customer's van which overheated and
it seems that the heads are majorly stuck to the piston sleeves.  I have
pulled the head away from the case enough to see the sleeves coming with it.
I have tried tapping with a hammer and a wooden block, WD-40, shaking.  Any
idea how to unstick these beasties?  Maybe a solvent to soften the head gasket
cement?  Any help would be appreciated.
