I should add, just as a data point, it's always nice when things come off easily. I was able to get the head off simply by turning the motor over with the starter. The studs came out with a little PB Blaster and a stud remover. I was really nervous about it but it went fine.

Bonus: Whoever overhauled this engine last installed double-lock tappets. Must be my lucky day.
