Having a senior moment
Hi folks -
Kai started stripping his 2.25 petrol engine yesterday. It seems that the engine is somewhat siezed so we do not hold out too much hope for keeping it but wanted to strip it just the same.
He has got as far as having the head bolts all removed, and as far as I can see nothing further should be stopping the head from lifting off. However, try as we might the ****er won't shift. He used mallets on it, even a club hammer with a wood block to cushion it but it stays stuck fast.
Now.. I have either misadvised him as we are doing something terribly wrong or there's a knack to seperating the head from the block.
He hsa not removed the cam from the head, but I saw no reason why that should be necessary in order to seperate them.
I know it's kind of vague but any ideas?
Cheers
