Problem is the rust is on top the pb pools on bottom and will just come out of plug hole instead of getting to top where rust is.

Hmm maybe rig up a compression tester hose or braze and barbed fitting onto a hollow spark plug then spray comprsssed air to spread penetrant all around? Or maybe if fill cylinder through hose it will allow me to fill above spark plug hole to top of piston? ( not a physics guy) maybe tale rocker cover off and close valves when trying to fill ? Im at a loss .hard to work on this thing too high. ..the horror

It is harder on a V8 to saturate the rings at the cylinder wall at the top of the slope. That's where Fluid-Film would come in handy as it stays where you put it better. Or put enough penetrant in to fill it up. Maybe jack up one side, fill the cylinders well. Put in the plugs and jack up the other side and fill it too. Plug it up and let it sit for days. The waiting is the hardest part.

Just thinking it could help with pistons that are up. Maybe a tube extention from the spark plug hole so you can flood the cylinders at the top of their stroke? Find a rubber or plastic tube the same OD as the plug and thread it in?

You can spray your PB up there daily for weeks.

What are your plans for the truck?

Get it running again and put her back to work?

Get it running to sell it?

Might help decide how to proceed if this isn’t any easy fix.
