I am amazed that this thread has gone this far without anyone mentioning "T=
he Rope Trick"!=20

Stuff a length of rope into one of the cylinders (one near the bottom of it=
s rotation) until the cylinder is full of rope. Then use the starter motor =
to break the head gasket seal and lift the head off the block. No need for =
cranes, pulleys, explosives, or a Sky-hook.



I have often seen mention of removing a head off of the TR2 through the TR3=
B while using this "trick".=C2=A0 Wouldn't you risk breaking the figure of =
eight seal?=C2=A0
