Some interesting suggestions all good .The last motor I did like that i removed the pan and cleaned some minor rust on the lower barrels ,soaked it for a few days in Gas /diesel and used oil mix in the bottoms of the pistons ,then drove the pistons down (from the head ,like said a block of wood ) until i could remove the crank ,a couple i cleaned the top of the barrels then drove them up .just don't try and force them up past heavy rust,
