A great trick to be sure, but isn't there a risk of disturbing the
liners, i.e., breaking the seals for the figure-eight gaskets, when
doing this on a wet-liner engine? Granted, it's not a problem if you're
doing a complete tear-down, but if all you're doing is replacing the
head, then there IS a risk, right?
