Hi all,
I have a 71 TR 6 engine which I am starting to tear down in hope of
rebuilding it over the next year or so. My questions concern removing the
head. I have the rocker shaft off and have removed the pusher rods (?) and
have removed all the head bolts in reverse sequence to what to how you are
supposed to torque them down. One stud came out in taking off the nuts.
Here are my questions:
1. Does the water pump have to come off before I removed the head?
2. Do the studs have to come off/out before I can take the head off. I
think this engine has been sitting for some time. I've had it for five
years at least! It still turns though...
If I have to remove the studs I was thinking of using two buts backed
against each other to create something I could turn the stud with any other
tricks?
After I get the head off I guess I'll drain engine and proceed with cylinder
removal or crankshaft removal - not sure what the best way to proceed is.
THanks for any advice...
Jon '73 TR6 and '71 engine, OD and hardtop...
