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...

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.
