Im down to takin off the head on my 22re and as some of you know they like to hold on to the memories...its time to let go..My hoist is accessible but it would be just great if I didnt have to go get that thing and transport it..Is there anywhere I shouldnt pry around before I really go for it here..everything is off and set aside. the FSM kind of briefly says something about it..Just wonderin if anyone has a trick for it, or some damage to look out for?

 

did you get the hidden bolt in the front, if so a couple wraps on the side with a rubber mallet should break it loose, there is also a spot you can pry i think it was on the front along the side where the head hangs past the block. (very vaguely going off memory) but i would not pry anything between the mating surfaces.

 

Thanks, cant believe I forgot that bolt, after reading about it so many times uuuuuhh ..got it, and had 3 bent exhaust valves

 

dont worry man ive done it too, more than once im ashamed to say
