Marco!!! Here is some free advice: I would recommend that you pull the affected head as soon as!! I'm having super majors with mine. The heads are seized on that goddamn solid that I've had to get a machine shop to bore out the studs to get the heads off. I believe this is due to a leak in the head ...

Hey Tom. The bottom studs dont seem to be locked up too much. Its the top boys. Man are they locked up good and proper! Tried the old weld a nut to the stud and impact gun it loose trick to no avail at all. In fact the nut and top of the stud was shawn off. maybe due to the heat from the weld making...

Thanx Michael. Just hatched cunning plan number 6. So sit down and get ready for this: Gonna weld high tensile nuts on to the head studs and try to break the grip with a big impact gun. The ones they use for truck tyres. If this plan fails the motor will be comming out. May have to look at a 164 mot...

I got on to this chap who can forecast weather up to 10 years in advance. He has a much better sucess rate than the meterogical systems that we have here. He uses a thousand of years old technique from the Stone henge [and the like] days. Like the atmosphere is a 500 milion ton sea of gas that circl...

Cheerz Mats. Will check it more closely. Dosent appear to be any other bolts or the like. Any one got a manual that shows any hidden bolts? Getting desperate for a solution. Thanx Tim.

O.K this is the latest method to try and remove these heads. 3mm holes bored down the sides of the siezed studs. Only about 12mm down. Then fill up the holes with the magic kero/brake fluid combo. Hoping that will find its way down into the affected area and help the release those little a$$holes! S...

Maybe 215/ 45 or similar looks like no worries at the rear. There seems a lot of space to fill hence the offset question. Speedo should'nt be too much of a problem either. Could live with a 2/3 km discrepency. With the Greg Gordon intake kit, shes up in the power dept as well. Able to handle slightl...

Thanks for your input Glen. Will try the brass wedge idea [gently]. Got a little movement out of one today. I think its just a perserverence thing. Made up a plate that sits on the studs with threded rod into the plug holes. Just a little pressure at a few points and hopefully it will come free. Soo...
