Still can't get this piston out any ideas? Thinking I'll have to drill out the crown and cut down one side!

Thanks for the helpful suggestions. It's right at the bottom of it's stroke but I guess it will go a bit further. Been knocking it the other way but the gudgeon pin is damaged now so it's not giving up. I'll try the heating method as well so will have another go soon.

I'm definitely opening up the heads and ports Woody but am still undecided about valves. I only have a 28/36 weber so might need a bigger carb with the bigger valves? I have had my eye on those new 32/36 ones from Newport, good price but adds to the overall cost - still a bit at a time, I'm not in a rush.

Current weber is OK and performs well but just thinking if I do go the bigger valve root then maybe I need a bit more fueling potential. Had the 40DFI on the rally car but they are difficult and expensive to get hold of now.
