Re: [Amc-list] Stuck Engine

I a similar thing to an old radial aircraft engine using grease and a grease 
gun a few years ago to get the individual jugs (cylinders) to release and 
come up off of the crankcase.  I had not thought about using air pressure. 
I might try that tomorrow (after I get my taxes done).  Ha.

Thanks,
Joe
