Paul,
If you have removed all eight intake/exhaust manifold nuts, along with disco=
nnecting the choke cable/fuel line/throttle linkage, you should be able to g=
ive it a good wiggle and pull it back out of the way. Pick it up and set it=
aside, leave the exhaust manifold just pulled back a little from the head. =
=20
Now, when I have all the stud nuts off I just use a very large screwdriver o=
r tyre tool between the water inlet at the front and the water pump to break=
the seal and lift the head off. If you don=E2=80=99t have all the rigging t=
o lift it that high, ask a friend to help. Have never used the rope trick. =
=20
Bill=20
