[TR] removing my head

[DAVID MASSEY]

 Be sure to remove the rocker assembly first.  You can bend a valve if you do this with one open.
This, of course, is a moot point since the rocker assembly must come off to access the head nuts.  Jus' sayin'. 

I did one better.  I shoved rope into #1 and #6 to lift both ends simultaneously.  But this was a TR6 with no loose liners to worry about.

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.
