I am contemplating removing the head to have the valves checked, turned,
etc. and replace all gaskets. I have been told that I MAY have a problem
getting the head off of the 10 long studs and that they have been known
to break in the process. Has anybody ever encountered this problem, and
if so how could it be remedied so that it doesn't happen? Any
suggestions in this area will be greatly appreciated....

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and got all the Spit stuff they
wanted.....

Cheers
Bob
