I tiped a LOOOONG thing about how we got Vermin's head off, "maybe" search will bring it up??
Basically, bought a cheep Oriental Meat Cleaver, the kind that goes from a razor like edge & up to about 1/8" thick.
Cut it into 4 wedges with a cut-off wheel & drove them into the head gasket packing at each corner. They surely can exert "thousands" of lbs. of pressure! We had NARY even a scratch on the head or block!!! The culprits were MANY studs rusted to the head.
