I'm in the process of rebuilding an MGB motor as well, an 18GB (out of
a 67 BGT). I have one major problem. The pistons are frozen, but good.
My question is, does anyone have experience getting pistons out of a seized
motor. I've tried penetrating oil, sharp rap on the top of the pistons....
to no avail. The reason it's seized is because someone took the head off it
and left it like that (it was still in the car, and the hood was
covering it).
I'd hate to give up on the motor, all the bearing surfaces are in really
fine shape. It doesn't look abused except for this slight problem of
being seized. Ideas?
