Re: [AMC-list] seized pistons/was wench.



Sorry about that I hit reply all as I know you mostly read the list v via the web. 
   I hope to save these pistons to clean and swap 4bbl pistons into the 2bbl low mile Jeep motor. 
  I also have another dilemma. I want to build the conv to be both a fair weather cruiser and a tow rig for the boat so I can not have to do it with my Jeep, maybe go back to a smaller jeep or since kid number two will be moving out soon I might try to score a Comanche from outside of rustville. 
  My dilemma is while moving the Torque tube rear from the 990H I have discovered it is a Twin grip as even with the drive shaft out of the tube it scrubs tires when trying to turn a corner. When I propped it up on the boat trailer I also noted the twin grip tag/washer still in place. So I suspect I have a 3:15 twin grip.   But not sure the M8 is something I want in a tow rig..
  Ah well I will have plenty of time to ponder this. 
  Russ, if you were nearby I have a 287 I don't need, (I hope)

sorry folks, i got this message off list, and didnt realize it was on list
also. i used atf/diesel mix. cam was lockedup also, so i had to pull the
crank out. took a week or so of soaking, then a block of wood just barely
fitting into the cylinder. 8lb dead blow hammer, and once they broke free,
was just slowly working them out.
