 Be sure to remove the rocker assembly first.=C2=A0 You can bend a valve if=
 you do this with one open.
This, of course, is a moot point since the rocker assembly must come off to=
 access the head nuts.=C2=A0 Jus' sayin'.=20

I did one better.=C2=A0 I shoved rope into #1 and #6 to lift both ends simu=
ltaneously.=C2=A0 But this was a TR6 with no loose liners to worry about.

I am amazed that this thread has gone this far without anyone mentioning "T=
he Rope Trick"!=20

Stuff a length of rope into one of the cylinders (one near the bottom of it=
s rotation) until the cylinder is full of rope. Then use the starter motor =
to break the head gasket seal and lift the head off the block. No need for =
cranes, pulleys, explosives, or a Sky-hook.=20
