Don't get no better than this gang. Used the grease gun method but did
not heed Rob and Kelley's warning:
"You need to block off all holes in the cylinder where grease can escape.
The valves should be in place, exhaust ports covered, and access holes
covered." <vbg>
I was too focused on pouring the french fry grease into the funnel and only
sensed something was wrong when all the stray dogs showed up :-))))...yea
the exhaust valve was open. Should have put the air hose to the spark plug
hole first .see:

Plugged the exhaust hole and after a couple pumps..she moved.:

I didn't go any farther as now I can reach up and feel the cylinder, and
there is a lot of gunk on the cylinder wall, but now I can fold open the
engine case and disconnect the rod and get 'er in the electrolysis tank.
Install piston stop also.
Not only is this hobby educational...it is also VERY SELF-ENTERTAINING :-)
