I recently started a rebuild on a seized 1.8. I found that moisture has seized the rings and the exhaust valve on #2 cylinder. The piston is seized near the top of the exhaust stroke.
Any suggestions to free up the piston rings? I have heated the top of the piston, used penetrating oil, tapped with a mallet, etc. So far, no joy. |

You may have to crack the case open… unbolt all the rods and slide the whole thing out… piston, rod and barrel. Depending where the crank sits… the rod bolts might be a tough reach. Likely it’s all toast…so from there you might just surrender and buy all new inners. If you really have to get the piston out… use a press. That’s what I’ve had to do with a motor cycle once. You might get lucky. Good luck!
