Kroil is useless for something like that .

I had a 400 that was stuck , but the crank wasn't stuck , i put it on an angle and sprayed PB blaster on the tops of all the pistons after hitting the walls with a wire brush on a drill to remove the scale. did one side then the other , long pipe on a breaker bar and a brass hammer hitting the tops of all the pistons I could reach and I got the thing to spin over. rust was only above the pistons though.

It was a 230 block but still needed 5 sleeves due to pitting and core shift.


running up my post count some more .
