I understand this, but what still confuses me is the need to turn the
engine over to remove the head, regardless of the presence or absence of
liners.  The pistons don't contact the head (they sure better not!) in
their stroke, so what is being accomplished by doing this?  Is the
compression just being used to break a seal?
