I like to think I'm smart... but then I realize... I put the sleeve before the piston... more times than I'd like to admit. Thanks for the video. Seems so easy until you try it yourself.
First off it is probably your fuel that has gummed up inside the engine. I would try heating the block up and try to stick something through the exhaust port that wouldn't melt fast but wouldn't damage the piston and sleeve while rotating the flywheel. I would wear heavy-duty welding gloves. They also make sleeve removal tools but I have never used one. I have heard of people soaking the block in wd 40 but I wouldn't let it come in contact with orings or the silicone. WD 40 will attack certain rubber and silicone.
We run 55% in funny car, top fuel, prostock, and promod. Personally I only run funny car and I only run Byron Fuels Drag Strip blend that is no longer available. However you may be able to find some leftovers. Once I run out I will start mixing my own.

Thank you for the support and encouragement.
Is their a rule of thumb on which way the Notch in the Piston Sleeve faces?
I have a stuck piston in my Jato 3.3 any suggestions.
