Aluminum has a larger coefficient of thermal expansion than steel. This makes it much harder to remove steel bolts from aluminum heads when cold, because the aluminum shrinks more in the cold and "clamps down" on the steel bolts.
But, if you first run the engine for a few minutes or use a propane torch to warm up the head, it will make removing the bolts much easier. |
