Stag and TR7 heads are no longer an issue.=20

=20

There are cylinder head tools available that lift off even the most =
corroded heads off a Stag or TR7 engine in 30 minutes or less with no =
damage, actually taking more time to install and remove the tool than it =
takes to  lifting the head.  That is the first and last tool to use, all =
other methods are rendered obsolete and typically damage something else =
in the process.

Use of the tool is free excepting you pay round trip shipping of the =
tool and replace anything you lose or break on the tool.

Cheers!

The =E2=80=9Crope trick=E2=80=9D is for emergencies, when you just =
can=E2=80=99t get the head off any other way.  In that case, chances are =
good that the liners are so stuck they don=E2=80=99t need to be =
retained.  But also, IMO, if it=E2=80=99s that bad, it=E2=80=99s time to =
pull the liners anyway (in which case they don=E2=80=99t need to be =
retained either).

=20

I=E2=80=99ve taken apart some pretty sad TR3 motors, and never had to =
resort to the =E2=80=9Crope trick=E2=80=9D.  Getting the head off a Stag =
or TR7 can be a real challenge, but the TR3 has never been a problem for =
me.

Is the rope trick the thing where you put the rope in the cylinder down =
the spark  plug hole and then turn the engine so that the piston breaks =
the head gasket seal?  I thought someone said not to turn over the =
engine?
