If the block is that weak that'll crack from pounding out a piston, I say better find out now than later...

If the cylinder has a taper and the piston rings are stuck in upper position...start multiplying the force of the hammer with the taper...no cylinderwall in the world will survive that.
If your lucky anything will work out fine...i can´t afford to break a customer engine so have to play it safe.
