Stuck

    Now we've reached the breaking point so to speak.  The connecting rod has been ripped from the wristpin boxing by a hydraulic jack & chain. At the same time we had the entire bottom end of the jug full of grease, 150PSI worth of grease.  But the piston wouldn't move. After several attempts with grease and every other method we could try we went to the press.  Being a headless engine we were worried we would punch right through the piston, but we prevailed!! Somewhere north of 12 tons of pressure later and the piston was finally free!!
