Cylinder head has now been suspended from a hoist for 4 hrs and despite banging on studs, shows no signs of shifting. I doubt that it would move with the tools that have been demonstrated...what now? Remove individual studs in the hope that not too many snap? The ones around the water branch manifold are likely to be the main offenders but the rear ones will be almost impossible to reach with out moving the engine forward. I can see that Jon E's block off solution may not be an unreasonable prospect, although a chisel, ? fox wedge/equivalents and tyre levers is getting more tempting! But I'll resist...maybe until tomorrow!
