I am amazed that this thread has gone this far without anyone mentioning "The Rope Trick"! 

Stuff a length of rope into one of the cylinders (one near the bottom of its rotation) until the cylinder is full of rope. Then use the starter motor to break the head gasket seal and lift the head off the block. No need for cranes, pulleys, explosives, or a Sky-hook.



I have often seen mention of removing a head off of the TR2 through the TR3B while using this "trick".  Wouldn't you risk breaking the figure of eight seal?
