Viva GT question [seized engine]

[JPSmit]

So, the engine is seized. I've managed to get three pistons out and the crank off (only stripped one bolt - broke a socket and it rounded off the head)

The last piston I have freed up - took a BFH but it moved. Unfortunately it only moves down and I can't get it out the bottom. Any thoughts for freeing it the other way?

thanks all.

soaking even as we speak.

May also want to ream the exposed (corroded) wall of the cylinder to keep the damage to a minimum, JP.

Looks like the late 70's, all coked up, plus.

I had a Volvo motor in once like that. Never did get the piston out, but didn't use a drill either.
