i am removing the cylinder head off of one of my engines, i have removed all of the head nuts, taken the rocker off all that is left is one sparkplug in and the valves there but i cant seem to get the head off. it moved a very small amount on one side but not the other. i didnt particually want to use a hammer to try and get it free as i dont particually want to damage the head.

Have you undone the bypass hose? Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

Give it a tap with a wooden mallet,or hold a piece of wood on the head then hammer on that. Warning:Stig in Training

Have you undone the bypass hose? Absolutely! That's the first mistake. Has it lifted then jamed or is it still tight down? Sometimes it jams on the studs once it's up a bit as the studs spring out or if it's lifted up off-square. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

the front middle stud has a tendancy on the mini to rust up.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

Hi, The front center head stud is a slightly larger diameter for some reason, I seem the remember reading somewhere... Cheers, Gavin :) I thought all the studs were the same size, but the front center hole was smaller, I may be wrong though. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:
