I usually give them a good soak for several days or even weeks with KROIL, followed by the application of a rosebud torch. As a last resort, I use a big hole saw in a variable-speed drill motor to cut a plug out of the top of the piston and allow the perimeter to shrink away from the cylinder walls. A few aluminum pistons bring more pocket change at the recycler than several trash bins full of beer and soda cans! Jerry
