Looked more oxidation than carbonation?

Sorry, forgot to mention carbon tet but this stuff is outlawed these days unless somebody has got a can still!
Saints method certainly works and would be great if it were a 500cc single motorcycle.......but it isn't.
Saints method?

Only because he gets his c*ck out. It was posted earlier but Coke really does work. My uncle was a marine engineer, one day in dry dock the were trying to remove a propeller from it's shaft. They had huge pullers, super heaters etc on the job without success, a Yank passing the dock shouted "I'll send you something that will get that off". Half an hour later he turned up with a couple of crates of Coke. The lads thought it was to drink, he said pour it over the shaft/shaft and leave it for 12 hours. It popped of like a cock in a three cornered hat.

Coke is pretty acidic (phosphoric). What will that do to the rest of the piston?

Coke, vinegar, brown sauce. Sulphuric acid will remove the rings from the piston also but it maybe a little difficult reassembling the molecules.

Thank you Adam, I'm back and busy so not so much time for the forum at present.
I would not actually say saved the day, i just suggested a method i have used that actually works. Rather than listing lots of things that may or may not work.
Yes it is an old trick of the trade that is how i knew about it. That's because i am an old tradesman and know about these things. I don't have to search for answers on Google as some have to. It was you who made the mistake of wrong attribution remember.

It isn't. No big deal at all. It must be to you or what was post 136 about?
