Re: head that won't budge
The head is off. Two super sharp hunting knives and a small ballpeen hammer did the trick, but thanks for all the advice.

Re: head that won't budge
Hi Mike,
Inexpensive handmade hardwood wedges, (oak or maple), always worked for vintage mechanics to remove heads off of "all" vintage heads on "all" types of vintage engines; however: 1. Today, first problem is finding someone today with enough talent to make several wood wedges; and, 2. If handmade wedges or even if wood wedges were sold by Model A parts suppliers, second problem would be finding someone who knew how to drive in wood wedges between the head & block to maintain metal faces of head & block parallel at all times with all head stud holes perfectly aligned with head stud bolts. Glad you got it off. |

Re: head that won't budge
I would not want to damage a useful hunting knife. Hopefully that knife's were not in good shape ?

Re: head that won't budge
Great you got it off... I changed my head this spring. Used... engine start putty knife then wood wedges only on corners... took some time.. As all have said. PRY ONLY ON THE 4 CORNERS NOT IN THE CENTER.
Also I used a small Dead Blow hammer they work great |
