What is the best way to remove a seized pisotn.
Its number 3, on a 998.
I have tried tapping it out on the Con Rod, and on the base of the Piston.
\its been soaked in PlusGas too.
Any other ideas?

I've had two over the years that were really stuck. I ended up inverting the block in the press and using brute force.

Well, it will need a re-bore, so I might end up just 'going for it'!
Its being soaked in Diesel overnight

Diesel will eventually work - can take weeks though! Chunk of 2" x 2" softwood and a mallet.....with increasing impact....

My first attempt would be heat. You'll have to have loads of it though 'because of all that cast iron.
