The green paint in the second picture is a pretty good clue as to who rebuilt it, and while shocked at the state it's in, I'm not entirely surprised ! Could it possibly be our old friend ? Martin.

I sincerely hope that it's not me you are alluding to........

I would have to send my mafia to "re-educate" you...........

Besides, a bit of JB Weld and some silver paint, and you might get a few quid for it on Ebay

No mate - wrong shade of green ! but I'll bet you can guess who I do mean. Send the Mafia round anyway, I'll put the kettle on. Martin.

Hmm signs of Henry VIII 's solution.

Guess the rope trick didnt get tried then?

I came across one engine that had stubborn heads....the rope trick genuinely worked well.

Dont forget to remove the cams first though.

Sorry spose its a bit late now.

Still, got rid of that pent up agression, and found a home for those new heads you had stashed away...oops:shock:

The rope trick was tried - it did not work - Revbra (owner Steve) has since tried to get the remaining stud out of the head without luck - he has posted pictures of the two different( manufacturer) head gaskets elswhere on the forum.

One can be plainly seen to be a Payen gasket (head removed in under 2 hours) - the other of unknown manufacturer was seriously deteriorated despite the damage sustained when removing the head.
