[TR] Removing my head

[Tom Walling]

You can't secure the liners until you get the head off. Then the manual shows large washers sitting on the liners with tubes to get the nuts up to the threads of the head studs. I would think stout fender washers and some steel tubing would do the trick. You're trying to keep the liners from moving (thus breaking the seal of the "figure-eight" gaskets). This looks like a quick trip to your local hardware store and a few minutes measuring the non-treaded part of the studs and you've got it!

ISTR one might need to first brace the sleeves; how is that done?  If that's the case, I ought to post phone removing the head, because I hadn't familiarized myself with this process, and I don't want to rush things (it's only been 20 years!) Anything else I need to know like what's the sequence for removing the headbolts (from the middle out or visa versa?
