I got the engine loose in my 10-20 that sat outside for 30-40 years by taking off the head and using a SMALL block of wood and a SMALL hammer to tap the edge of the pistons to get them to rock back and forth in the bore.I tapped on the pistons with the block near the edge so I wouldn't knock a hole in the top. I splashed a tiny bit of kerosene on top of the pistons and watched for the rust colored kero to appear along the sleeve and the piston top.Them I added a little bit of oil to the kerosene and watched for it to drip down past the rings into the crank case. I had it loose in 1.5 hours!And nothing broken! I was also VERY glad I took the head off as every valve was stuck and if the bottom end wpould have came loose it would have broken pushrods, rocker arms, or the rocker shaft or all of them.I was able to save all parts exept the valves which were just plain rusted way to bad to grind. Plus I only used less than a quart of kerosene!
