A cpl months ago I picked up a 72 AMX with 26K miles on it, it had been sitting since 77, the car was in pretty decent shape and during disassembly it came apart pretty easy. Now down to the motor a 360 and I have it completely tore down, but for the life of me I can't get the pistons/rods out of the bore. Cylinder walls above and below the piston look awesome, still see the original crosshatching, but the pistons are stuck tight. I've been spraying and cleaning and filling the bore with PB but have no luck making any of them move. Does anybody out there have any info or tricks they can pass along? I've been soaking and with a maul and a piece of hardwood been trying to jar the piston loose but no luck yet. any ideas??? thanks guys
