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!</span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt'>On September 1, 2019 at 6:33 PM Paul Dorsey <<a href="mailto:dorpaul1@gmail.com" target="_blank">dorpaul1@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Tomorrow I'd like to remove the head of my TR3 and I don't think I've done it before.
