They obviously need a bit of convincing, e.g., a slide hammer I take it. With luck, the engine'll be in th; /html/mgs/2000-11/msg00839.html (7,511 bytes)

I used a 5/16 fine thread bolt and welded a nut on to the head that my slide hammer threads would screw into. Works great.

This is a '77 18V engine and the caps are held on by bolts. -- Bud Krueger http://home.ici.net/~bkrueger/ 52TD 77MGB; /html/mgs/2000-11/msg00861.html (9,033 bytes)

The GV block that's in the car now uses bolts. AFAIK, the studs and bolts are interchangeable. You; /html/mgs/2000-11/msg00901.html (9,813 bytes)
