8 Studs out, later....still suspended = no joy! Remaining 6 seem stubborn at best, slightly wary of them snapping just above level of their jamming. As I've said before will probably end up taking the block off and hopefully whacking the head off from inside. Will take some measurements for a possible removal tool but not too optimistic. The central 3 and the outer water branch studs look to be the most guilty parties, just as well I'm not in a desperate hurry! Will be in 10 days time as the car is booked into a show at Amberley Chalk Pits Museum. Incidentally, I've tried R's 'Wrecking Bar' idea from various angles with all of my weight on it to no avail.
