Tore down 2 GT6 long blocks to see what's salvagable and store the  
bits so they don't take up valuable floor space.  One had been  
outside uncovered for years.  Pistons fused to the block, rods fused  
to the wrist pins, lifters fused in the bores.  Crank looks  
savagable, but I can't get it out, since the rods don't move.  :(
Other than the head, a total write off.

Started teardown of a 3rd, but couldn't get the head off; rope trick  
didn't work with all the studs still in place; have to pull 'em and  
try again...

Thanks
