I freed up 4 more pistons in an 8ba block. I removed two of them. The other two move, but only with a good whack so I'm letting them soak some more. One came out a couple months ago, so there will be three left to work on. I can't find my best pounding apperatus, this being a roll of 2" lead flashing that came in a roll like tape. I peeled it back to about 3" diameter and it does two things. 1) It conforms to the shape of the dome, spreading the blows from the 3 lb hammer evenly, 2) I has mass, helping the inertia of the hammer do it's work. Not sure if I can buy another roll of this lead flashing. They treat it like it's nuclear waste these days, and me without my haz-mat suit. It's a really nice block @.060 over and very clean. Gonna mag and pressure test once the holes are emptied out.
