I saw this seized motor at Nick's a year ago and asked about it. He said I could have it. Then I was there a year later and took it home. He had removed the head and filled the cylinders with ATF. I had to beat the pistons up from the bottom with a 1/2" punch and a mini sledge. It was not pretty. I was trying to save the rods, so my force was directed at the pistons. I ended up shattering all the pistons on the way out, but didn't damage the rods.
