As far as beating on the pistons while they are connected to the crank, you are working against all of the other pistons at the same time. Pull all the spark plugs out and put the starter on the block and try turning it over with the starter again. If it is moving you probably can get it loose. You can back it up with the bar and try the starter again. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,644 | this like every thing else on Your truck will need patience if You push things You end up doing more harm ( MONEY ) than good , just give the engine a pry one way than the other it will move , I am sure You got alot of other things to do on Your truck I know I do, have fun , Pete | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 | Try soaking your lifters too, they can make an engine seize up just like a stuck piston. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 | I agree with Whitedog. I have had a lip (probably crusted dirty oil) build up at the top of the lifter cylinders.
This lip is not to be scraped off. It will soften and come off with a plastic tool or finger nail.
I hope this helps.

I than lowered the crank slightly so I could turn the flywheel and get the bolts on the flywheel plate. I got them all out, but I can't pull the darn clutch out. Is there some trick or tool I'm missing?
Any help would be great. | | |
