Scott,

Hmm, worrying about liners moving with the head off?  This is a worry if the 
engine is brand new or just rebuilt, but if it's an original engine with 30+ 
years on it and normal abuse those liners won't move an inch.  In fact, you'll 
have to beat 'em out.  One can make a tool from several wide flat washers, a 
piece of pipe cut to length, and a head nut to hold them in place.  EASY.

Sorry to hear about the stud.  At this point I'd be reaching for a beer and 
dynamite.
