I'm changing out my cylinder heads on my /6. For the most part the engine came apart quite easily. The engine looks to be in good condition. One huge problem is that it looks like whoever rebuilt this ing ine previously used a thin layer of RTV sealant between the cylinder heads and cam tower. I cannot separate the heads from the tower because of the damn RTV. I Would prefer not to damage the heads or tower however I could damage the heads if I have to since I am not reusing them. I removed the head/tower unit from the engine by undoing the head barrel nuts.
Any ideas how to remove the heads from the cam tower? |
