Stuck 6 cyl head, No, its not stuck there.... Options

[mr914]

Pulling apart that Aluminum case 2.0 motor in anticipating to sell it and cant seem to get one of the heads off.

Motor has been sitting for 20 plus years and rotates freely.

4 heads came off with a little more than a ketchup bottle thump.
1 head came off with the cylinder attached

The other one, wont seem to budge. Made sure all washers were removed. been soaking with PB Blaster for a couple of days

BTW: motor had been sitting for several years and a mouse had made a nest on top of that particular cylinder.

Hence - Mouse motor...

Any suggestions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I'll throw another 2 cents into this. Not that you asked.... But here it is..

Option 1
Clean up the case and post the engine number in a For Sale Feeler on the Early S and Pelican Sites. Someone with the car this engine belonged to might be interested in buying it back. Early cars are going for stupid money and engines are getting up there also. If it sells, you can build something or buy a running 3.0 or 3.2 with the cash.

Option 2
Send the case out and have oil squirter's installed if they aren't in it already. Have the case mod for a big oil pump done at the same time. There is a guy on Pelican selling 3.6 alloy oil pumps for around 500.00.
Put the early heads on a shelf and pick up a set of late 2.7 heads with bigger valves and ports. They aren't that expensive. Twin plug them. Watch Pelican to find a pair of Electromotive Crank Fire units. JE Pistons and I'd find a 2.0 crankshaft and make it a 2.5 SS

2 months ago I sold my early 65 long block that was made into a 2.5. It had all it's 65 parts except the pistons and cylinders. Case and heads were cut to 2.7.
Center oiler solex cams were still in it too. It sold in 20 minutes. Wasn't even the matching number car owner. Just someone that wanted "period Correct".
I owned that engine for around 40 years and never considered selling it.
In the end, Cash Talked Loudly. Prices on early stuff is still going up it seems.
I'd probably get 2000.00 more if I sold my engine today.
