maybe it couldn't get by the rings.  So I can try soaking the pistons from the
bottom.  Someone told me to soak the cylinders in diesel.  I'm wondering if
there is anything that would be better, such as ATF (I've got some extra ATF).
I can set the engine upside down and fill the bottom half of the cylinder and
let it set for awhile.

Cut the ATF 50/50 with acetone.
