       how do you guys free up stuck rings. after jabbing small
       screwdriver into my thumb I would like to know a better way. no
       rust just bad gas.

       Ultimately I have always replaced a stuck ring before I declared
       the problem solved.
       I don't hold the piston in my hand.

       yes you know best but this thing looks so new i want to try it
       and see.  I have a vise on my bench if I had used it would not
       have hole in thumb.

       1 or 2 for me now that I had given up on.
       I was ready to break things.  ;D

       I put it in vise and and broke ring about the third time I
       tapped it. cleaned it up put ring off parts motor on it. not a
       good thing to do but i wont be able to rest till i hear it run.

       I think Al uses Kroil to help him free up rings and heat.

       even after i broke ring out that crud was hard to scrape out of
       ring grove. got to put it back together before i forget where
       all the bolts go. when i was on steam turbine repair crew we
       used lots of kroil. i often forget about it on less than 40
       pound bolts.

       I always used a piece of the broken ring to clean the groove
       out.
