Thanks guys. It took me forever to get the LH head off last night. I hammered, Kroiled, made up some pullers that fasten into hollowed out spark plugs, even tried the old "rope trick". Finally got it off after about 3 hours. I will get the valves and spings off this week and give everything a good going over.
