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) Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() ![]() |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Some very good ideas and some unique ones that I had never heard of.
After a couple of days of soaking, trying heat gun and propane torch. It was time for (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) I ended up using a auto body saw to cut the cylinder stud. It took 5 blades in all, as the studs are hardened and the saw only has about a 3/8" stroke. Yes I lubed the blade and cutting surface to not harden it. I am a dosin at the Museum of American Speed and spoke with the engine restoration guys. Their trick chemical is a 50/50 mix of Acetone and Trans fluid. Not that the head is off, I can try other approaches to removing the stud. In thinking about this thread, I realized that some of the posters are probably 4 cyl guys and are not familiar with the nuances of a 6 cyl engine. So I drew on a couple photos of 911 heads for reference. Thanks for all of your input Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() ![]() |
