Tore down 2 GT6 long blocks to see what's salvagable and store the
bits so they don't take up valuable floor space. One had been
outside uncovered for years. Pistons fused to the block, rods fused
to the wrist pins, lifters fused in the bores. Crank looks
savagable, but I can't get it out, since the rods don't move. :(
Other than the head, a total write off.
Started teardown of a 3rd, but couldn't get the head off; rope trick
didn't work with all the studs still in place; have to pull 'em and
try again...
Thanks
