Default Re: Head Gasket

To remove the head, has anyone ever loosened the head nuts just a little, and then started the engine? The head pops loose immediately.

I've never used this procedure, but I've read about people successfully doing it, even on other engines with cylinder head studs like the Model A.

For those who are unfamiliar with procedures like this, please be sure to drain the cooling system first.
