Default Re: 1949 Merc 8CM engine

If you do not intend to reuse the valves/springs (I never do) it is a lot easier to just cut the valves, springs, etc to get them out. If the pistons are stuck to the point it is difficult to get them out without beating on them, cutting the center out of them can help a lot with removal. Pounding on a stuck piston can crack a cylinder wall, go easy.
