![]() ![]() Hoping i can free this last one then get the head to move to free the already broken one. Used a lifetimes supply of various penetrating/freeing fluids and even had the tools attached to a rope and cranked on that with full deadlifting power and it won't budge.Ĭhances are it is going to snap (as per the other one) if I give it any more pressure and I will then have 2 studs sitting in the head. We've had a variety of tools on it including dedicated stud removers on long bars, tried to free the head with jacking it up on the exhaust manifold and lifting the engine on the lifting hook at the same time to try and help shift it and smacking it around with a lumpy ona wooden block. Managed to get 3 studs out completely and one has snapped off 5mm inside head. Stripped it down and got the nearside head off happily in a couple of hours on Friday but spent all Saturday unable to remove the offside head. ![]() Have a Triumph Stag (my wifes in fact) with original 3.0 V8 and it looks like the head gaskets are shot. New member just joined and already looking for some assistance.(also posted in the Midlands Regional group - hope that isn't a problem). ![]()
