What I read was you can employ a head removing tool then........
quote " the usual technique is to get some clearance between the head/block and then hack-saw the bolts off....and then remove the studs from the head/block later. Only work's if you can get that initial 1/2 inch of movement though " ...........This was taken from an article I was reading sometime back.
The guys on this forum will advice you better though. -
Are all the studs out besides one? Can't you twist the head. use maybe a bottle jack against the other head. I was in a similar situation and that's what we did and the head raised enough to get a hack saw. Be super careful with the hack saw. I marked the head and later it had to be shimmed. The machine shop said the head was not warped but because of the hacksaw it needed skimming. I was a bit upset about that.Comment

This doesn't read correctly, if all the bolts are out and the studs are all out except for one which sheared off flush with the block...there's now nothing holding the head on. Do you mean the stud is still sticking up some amount ? in which case it isn't flush.Originally posted by Mark Powell View Post
