OH GAWD - this thread is hilarious.
What a bunch of horny old bastards we are....
_________ back to our regularly scheduled show ___________
All seriousness aside....sorry XSWestgate - back to your problem.
What we are trying to convey is that you must make certain that ALL of the fasteners joining the head to the jugs (OH GAWD...
) have been removed (difficult as that may be...
).
There are the obvious eight big nuts (
tee hee) up-top
AND there are a whole bunch of smaller bolts
sprinkled <
yuk> around including the two under the spark plugs (one on each side - #9 and #10) which are often missed and the one right at the rear adjacent to the cam chain tensioner housing (#11 in the figure below) - plus several others (don't forget #12, 13, 14 and 15).
There are
15 fasteners in all and you should also remove the chrome oil supply tube running up the front of the engine. Check the
figure (
no giggling you guys) below:
If all of those have been removed and the head is still stuck - then yeah, you have definitely got
your head stuck to the jugs.
(DAMMIT -
stop laughing you bunch of reprobates).
As suggested by Jim, if you can do it, I would pull the head and the cylinder barrel off as a unit. Then, assuming that someone did use gasket shellac (or some other icky-sticky substance
) on the head gasket, perhaps a gentle application of a propane torch around the head to soften it while gently tapping on a wooden shim between the fins might help...?
CAUTION: the cylinder head fins are fragile, so don't hit anything too hard.
