<p class="MsoNormal">The ???rope trick??? is for emergencies, when
you just can???t get the head off any other way.?? In that case,
chances are good that the liners are so stuck they don???t need
to be retained.?? But also, IMO, if it???s that bad, it???s time to
pull the liners anyway (in which case they don???t need to be
retained either).</p>

the head off a Stag or TR7 can be a real challenge, but the

the rope in the cylinder down the spark?? plug hole and then
turn the engine so that the piston breaks the head gasket
seal??? I thought someone said not to turn over the engine?</p>
