gas spark explosion! working with my hands mentally relaxes me I have played with bikes (pedal and motor) and messed with cars. Luckily I have the best wife who understands my "Mechanical Issues". Now I am restoring a Burley Samba for us to ride as I go thru it

getting my hands dirty
this will be a little long but hopefully good reading
Decided to pull the engine today
rolled the SS up on to the stand and dug in
when I picked up the bike a few weeks back I poured marvel mystery oil
in the spark plug holes to try and break it free, didn't work
Drained the tranny fluid, nice shape for 20+ year old oil
found one issue the upper left mounting bracket (engine to frame had
broken the weld
bottom came out fine and did the four up front
engine is now on My work bench
was going to call it a day but pulled the heads
right cylinder the chrome was flakey and on the piston in a grit
is there a trick to removing a stuck cylinder?
currently have the engine minus all covers on the Bench she sure is
pretty on the inside
the bike is a TA1 BS200 SS/MII is this a 1968 bike??
