Guest 1930 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Do you know why its stuck, not good to force it if something down below or up high is the real issue.Does the engine turn over?

trimacar Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Have you tried putting the spark plugs back in the holes, no gas, battery disconnected, nuts off studs, and turn engine over...the compression might be enough to break it loose....

Pete K. Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 A couple of ways of getting a stuck head off; cram a single long length of soft rope, like clothesline rope, down each cylinder spark plug hole then hand crank engine over and it sometimes pushes the head up. The other way is to actually fire the engine up with the stud nuts off. It will only fire over once and you'll lose compression but head will come loose. Try to refrain from the old screwdriver and hammer prying method. Spray plenty of solvent around each stud and brush off any and all rust around them.
