Topic: FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!

[pat english]

so i tried this karosine trick...dont know if it actually helped cuz i still had to bang on the piston after it all burnt out...but i got it done...it was pretty fun.


this is the one that was stuck...

So,unless I am the only one in the world,what is the trick?? with the kerosene. I do use it to clean parts but not set them on fire ?

i use small amounts of dynamite to unstick pistons. Works great.

i guess its not really a trick..i just read(on this fourum)about a guy filling up the cylinder with kerosene and making a wick and lighting it on fire.to free up a stuck piston...

haha yeah...my buddy brought over some bottle rockets.we were guna shove a bunch of them in the cylinder but we forgot..o well the fourth is comin up soon...

IF it actually has an affect it was probably due to heating of the cylinder causing a slight expansion.  Maybe easier than using a bud torch.

yeah youre probly right...i dont have a torch though...i got an old mig tank..if any one local needs one they can have it.just taking up space in the garage.
