I tried that at first, but I was lifting the car! I figured that
eventually the head would pop loose doing this, but it made me a little
nervous about the possibility of damaging something when the whole car
dropped away from the head, given the fact that it was on jack stands (or
_off_ jack stands at this point.) So, I decided that an "impact" approach
would be better and the head tore loose after only a couple of pretty good
whacks.
Cylinder heads aren't supposed to be this difficult to remove. Is this a
TR6 quirk?
