The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

Tried the other day but not had much luck.   The Kroil/Seafoam  is still in the cylinder. Burn Kroil for a couple hours, fire out and add acetone rather carefully, relight with Seafoam??? Does that seem like a plan???? I am off tomorrow so I'll have most of the day,  unless I go out to buy a Kawasaki Concours that is...Larry

First thing that came to my mind was"I'm free, I'm free, and freedom tastes of reality".



I awoke this morn and heated #4 piston for somewhere around 10 to 15 minutes with a propane torch




The filled the cylinder with Seafoam and lit it up until it burned off. In conjunction with the following tools #4 broke loose.






After the Seafoam fire went out I lightly tried to move the breaker bar, then I put the brass mallet on top of #4 and tapped it with the ballpeen. Piston broke loose :) :) :)


The cylinder :-\

Next step will be pulling the motor so I can split the cases to assess any possible lower end damage.  But I think I shall remove clutch cover before pulling  motor.  Pretty sure the clutch could be as ugly as #4 cylinder..

Larry,
The bike must have sat w/ water in the tank(but the tank looked so clean..,probably not the orig. tank)and the petcock in 'reserve' so the water seeped in somehow.

Not so clean.  An slight overbore or new sleeve might be in the future?  The consequences of piston diarrhea.

It sat with #4 plug out, a previous PO cross threaded the head and left the plug out. 


More pics to come, motor is out of the frame and I've found even more damage.  Have to sit and pay bills now
