I have the Acorn Nuts removed and the six smaller nuts around the front of the head removed.
Penetrating oil easily sinks around all but two of the head studs, but the head will not budge.
The replacement cylinder head gasket is composite with what appear to be steel rings for the actual seal.
The head protrudes about 1 1/2 inches on each side hanging over the block. I tried a small two ton bottle jack with a small wood block pushing up against the over hang, but it will not budge. I did not have this much trouble pulling V-12 heads. Is it always this hard to remove the six cylinder head?
Is there a secret to this?
