Just make sure the valves are closed on that cylinder, excellent
idea. I've used nylon rope in the past to hold valves closed to
replace valve seals without pulling the head. - Tony At 07:08 AM 3/4/2006, Mike Munson wrote: How about pushing a rope in the spark plug hole? I used this method last night to break a head loose and there was more than enough resistance to torque. I'm not sure if there are any ill effects from using this method though.
