Default Re: Can this be saved?

I've not done it but, you might try to find a REAL hot tank and have them soak it, over night. The Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, should eat the piston, until only the rod is left. Or, you could try buying some lye and soaking the block in a 55 gallon drum. You have to research the mixture, I used to know it but, have forgotten it.
