slow progress...

[blue twin]

Here's a few pics, a bit of progress, but the thing is really stuck. I tapped holes in the stud holes and used a puller and some heat, and tapping with a hammer. I Used an aluminum slug in the bore to avoid destroying the piston. It finally it came loose after weeks. Had a problem with keeping penetrating fluids in it because the piston was down and it just puked out the exhaust ports.

Also posted are  a couple of pics of the bike as it appeared when I picked it up.
