Gordon Smith question
Is there anything else besides the standard Model A headstuds that retain the head to the block? Back half of head has pulled up a little but the front half is rock solid and I'm afraid if I use my head puller it will brake the head in the middle. The motor is stuck and its been on an acetone and ATF soak for a week

Re: Gordon Smith question
How about the gooseneck to the radiator nuts? You should be able to work a couple of large screwdrivers up each side towards the front. Or just let it soak some more would be the safest.

Re: Gordon Smith question
Just the studs but the two piece construction may make a weak point in the middle. To separate the two pieces there are two 5/16 bolts that go up from underneath on the water inlet side of the block.

Once the head starts lifting then double up on the knife or use a broad thin wood chisel to keep working the head up. Using a narrow tool, like a screwdrive or chisel, can casue damage to the head, unless it's already fairly loose. |

Re: Gordon Smith question
There are 14 head studs, be sure you have loosened all of them.

Re: Gordon Smith question
A tip my an old mec showed me once-- Remove the spark plugs, thread a length of rope into the cylinder (with the piston appx.1/2 way up) and turn the crank with the hand crank. the force of the piston pushing on the rope will usually get things moving. the ATF and Acetone mix IS the best penetrating fluid!!Cheaper and better than any over the counter available!
