Re: head fused to the block ?

If they're the reverse bolting nuts, you probably have to double stud it and hammer it out in an opposite forward direction.

Re: head fused to the block ?

The washers should come out with a needle nose pliers thats how i pull mine out after that the head ahould just pull up even if the studs are in
they would have to be bent or the head has to be hella warped
or stuck on the dowl things

Give some heat by the dowel pin. That will help loosen up the corrosion if any.

Re: head fused to the block ?

I'm pretty sure he had his head off this summer so corrosion shouldn't be an issue. I would get all the head studs out first to make sure those are causing/adding to the problem

Re: head fused to the block ?

Probably not much point, if the engine got that hot it is junk anyway. How long did you wait to put coolant in it? If it wasn't 2+ hours then you cracked the block on it if it wasn't already cracked.

I used hot water. Kind of counter intuitive. But I figured it wouldnt crack the block......

Re: head fused to the block ?

bummer man. yes we are teasing because it's not ours so naturally we don't care like its ours and we could blow it up no worries. but seriously I would try an engine hoist and big rubber mallet as u lift.

Well my first issue is getting the head off. Realistically as long as the internals are fine. Im not too upset. Shit happens I guess.

Just more money down the pit I guess :/
