- Once ready to lift the head put the spark plugs back in, and turn the engin over using the battery. This blows the head and hopfully is a bit more even with the pressure than the rope trick.

- 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 th

- Been there, done that. When I removed my head, I found that it really did not want to come off. I ended up removing all the head studs. Then, using a 2x4 a couple feet long and a large hammer placed

- I used the good old double nut trick. However they do make a tool for this also. See:http://shop.sears.com/cgibin/ncommerce/;execmacro/dispProdsSCS.d2w/report?prrfnbr=9514&prmenbr=6970 I have never

- Hi Bob, Use the good old rope trick. Remove all the plugs and feed a length of rope down into cylinders 1 and 4. take a large wrench and turn the crank. The pistons and rope lift the head. This metho

- Let me make sure I understand this correctly. Put the rope inside the cylinders and then the rope is pushed against the head, correct? Is any type/size of rope preferable? Thanks for the info Cheers
