Got a couple of Cameron* 19's from eBay. Between them there's enough parts to build one good engine.
It has a full-height cylinder block, as with modern practice, but I can't get the liner out with the usual technique of using a block of wood in the exhaust port and cranking the piston up. At least part of this is because the prop drive isn't positive -- the end of the crank is tapered, as is the inside of the prop drive, so the torque to the crank is severely limited. Also, I have no idea what the fit is between the case and the liner.
I haven't yet used heat beyond what's comfortable to hold in my hand -- that's next on my list, but I have some work to do in front of this computer, so I figured I'd yelp for help now.
So I'm looking for suggestions on how to get this out. Are there other techniques I should be considering? How else might I safely remove a liner from an engine, without using the piston and crank as a press?
Thanks.
* If you haven't heard of them please send me a PM and I'll start another thread -- I really, really want this one to be focused on how to get the d****d liner out.
