Last resort- - - - -drill a series of 1/4" holes around the perimeter of the piston a little inboard of the rings, and break the center out of the piston with a BFH and a punch. Then the remaining piston material can be chipped out with a hammer and a punch. In the very unlikely event the block doesn't have to be bored, a few of us have plenty of cast iron 216 pistons we'll be happy to give you just to get rid of them! Just tell us the bore size- - - -standard or overbored.
