The acetone/trans fluid/mineral spirits concoction seems to be working. All but one of the pistons are free. The last one will come around and its not even one of the worst ones in the pictures. The valve guides are what is holding the program up.

The intake valves are free.... How do I get to the exhaust valves? Turn the engine till the exhaust ports are up, then pour them full?
