2. Re: head removal (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sun, 15 Feb 1998 19:40:00 -0500; Heads really don't ever just fall off. They always need convincing, some considerably more than others. Chances are, the older the engine, the more the head wants to stay wedded to the block. Get a p; /html/triumphs/1998-02/msg00997.html (8,066 bytes)

This engine is not in a car so I cant use a starter, but I tried i; /html/triumphs/2005-11/msg00300.html (7,152 bytes)

You can also use a big breaker bar on the front nut (if you have a suitable 6-point socket). Back up and try; /html/triumphs/2005-11/msg00303.html (8,793 bytes)

Re: head removal (score: 1): Author: Dave1massey@cs.com; Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2005 08:27:30 EST; It is either still stuck to part of the block in which case more "rope trick" will free it up or it is stuck on the studs.

But I've seen the edge of a TR3 cylinder block crumble a lot easier than I thought it would. Probably a combination of the gasket, and cr; /html/triumphs/2005-11/msg00314.html (7,533 bytes)
