Stag and TR7 heads are no longer an issue.=20
=20
There are cylinder head tools available that lift off even the most =
corroded heads off a Stag or TR7 engine in 30 minutes or less with no =
damage, actually taking more time to install and remove the tool than it =
takes to lifting the head. That is the first and last tool to use, all =
other methods are rendered obsolete and typically damage something else =
in the process.
Use of the tool is free excepting you pay round trip shipping of the =
tool and replace anything you lose or break on the tool.
Cheers!

The =E2=80=9Crope trick=E2=80=9D is for emergencies, when you just =
can=E2=80=99t get the head off any other way. In that case, chances are =

I=E2=80=99ve taken apart some pretty sad TR3 motors, and never had to =

Is the rope trick the thing where you put the rope in the cylinder down =
the spark plug hole and then turn the engine so that the piston breaks =
the head gasket seal? I thought someone said not to turn over the =
engine?
