Tried to get the. Cylinder head studs out of an old case this morning, no luck. Soaked them in WD40, then two nuts, then three nuts, then three pairs of vice grips, then a bloody big vice. I did get one out, but the remainder refuse to budge.
Looks like heat is the only thing left to try, but I'm not pulling the bottom end apart at this stage.
I wanted to remove them and slot them, so in future I wouldn't have to pull the motor to work on the top end. No dice. So It'll have to wait, one day I may have to strip the bottom end, then I can try heat.
Ridiculously tight, The. Japanese sure didn't want these studs to come loose.
