You may think I’m nuts for suggesting this idea……….. would it be worth heating the piston and then dunking it in ice water to hopefully break the ring away.

You’re not nuts for suggesting to heat the piston up, as I’ve already boiled
it in a pan of water twice, and danced a bottle torch around the stuck ring
another two or three times, besides continuous soakings in witches brews.

However, a mental examination may be required to convince me to throw
it in ice water after it’s heated……. just seems cruel !

Prepare to be boarded!
