help getting cylinders out
I just got a 911 s engine that had been out in the elements(in a car) for about 12 years I'm trying to salvage as much as I can of it, I got 3 of the cylinders out but still have 3 to go. My question is:
What is the best way to loosen stubborn cylinders like this ones, I think they are rusted to the case. Thanks |

I would soak the joint (where case/cylinder meet) with penetrating oil. Let it sit, then repeat. If you have a Acet. torch or even a small MAP gas or L.P. bottle, heat the joint ( NOT TOO MUCH HEAT!) and tap the cylinders with a wooden mallet. The cylinder fins are FRAGILE, so go easy! Good luck
