that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
If the head are really stuck on in the past I made an spark plug adapter and hooked a hydraulic power pack (tractor, wood splitter, car lift, etc) and it popped the head right off.
Did this on a 36hp engine with fairly high value okrasa heads and it worked good, but it's a bit messy if you miss the waste oil bucket. |

If the head are really stuck on in the past I made an spark plug adapter and hooked a hydraulic power pack (tractor, wood splitter, car lift, etc) and it popped the head right off. Did this on a 36hp engine with fairly high value okrasa heads and it worked good, but it's a bit messy if you miss the waste oil bucket. Good idea. I like it! Could the same thing be done with air pressure? 100 psi into two 100mm pistons/head chambers is 2400 lbs of force. Each cylinder contributing ~1200 lbs of force. Seems like that would be plenty without the need to resort to hydraulics that would increase the force by an order of magnitude (x10) using 1000psi hydrualic pressure. Would be cleaner w/o risk of dumping oil. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
