Now, for the first time, I can see the pistons... and I can honestly say I did not expect to see pistons shaped like that. I'd post a picture, but it keeps saying "upload of file failed."

You got the head off?

Penetrating oil in all the bolt holes and around the head gasket line, and a rubber mallet on the flat areas near where the carb boots go.
