Actually I have and its one reason I've held off on the r&r on the head. It is
a good way to break rods though so I'm thinking to try heat first.
Also thinking the next time a tool show comes to town I'll pick up 3 more 5
ton bottle jacks, they're handy to have around anyway. A couple years ago Dad
and I setup a bottle jack pushing down on a piston (with a chain around the
block so it could push down). I think this would be more effective with 4
jacks. Plus heat, plus more magic stuff in the cylinders. Its gonna be a group
effort.
The worst thing is that the tractor is at my parents house in Maine, thats
180 odd miles from where I live. I really need to take a week off from work and
just set my mind to the task.

Have you tried injecting grease into the cylinder through the spark
plug
hole using a high-pressure grease gun (The air-driven ones put out
about
10,000 psig pressure.) I have heard (and seen pictures) of this method
used on old engines. You will have to make an adapter to get the zerk
fitting/spark plug connection.

Isn't that the 12cyl maintenance and repair nightmare?
Actually I'll admit I was gazing upon a BMW today. Musta been a quite new
one, cherry red, pretty lady driving it. Then I pressed on the go pedal and
took
off (190D remember). Why do people have performance cars and drive like
weenies?
