Re: Stuck head
A friend made one out of a 3/4 inch thick steel plate the size of a head gasket. He laid a head gasket on top of it and marked all the holes, except the very front two. Drilled the holes and tapped them so he could run bolts down threw the plate and reach the tops of the head bolts. He also made bolts that look like the ones the venders sell with their head remover. The ones that thread into the spark plug holes in the head. He also drilled holes in the plate to allow those bolts when threaded into the spark plug hole to extend up threw the plate so nuts on top of the bolts held the plate fast to the head bolts. Screwed the bolts that go threw the threaded holes in and the head will be raised With minimal effort and no damage as might occur using chisels and wedges. Cost is in the machining but he had access to a machine shop and the knowledge to make his puller with those machines. I believe all he really uses was a lathe and a heavy drill press.
