Re: Stuck Head

[Btp44@aol.com]

Kendall-The head is stuck because of corrosion between the head and the 
studs, not between the gasket and head.  Start by applying penetrating oil 
around the studs, then remove as many as possible through the use of double 
nuts.  If the head still won't budge, try using engine compression, wedges, 
and the other methods Dr. T suggested.  When the head is removed wire brush 
the studs and coat with an anti-seize compound to make it easier next time.
