    It appears that we have a failure to communicate. You wrote…

    “Why tap thru the spark plug hole with a dowel? piston has cleared the hole.”

    the piston appears to have cleared the exhaust port, sure,   but the spark plug hole is at the top of the cylinder?  unless of course the spark plug hole is at right angles to the bore in which case your comment makes sense.

    Just another word of caution about pulling from the conn rod, do not use extreme force as you may break the rod, especially if its bronze.
