Take your time. Plenty of WD40 and give it tome time to penetrate. I would try to persevere working the head up and down the studs a fraction until it loosens. If you do try to remove them try locking 2nuts together on the exposed thread, may help to turn them. To ne honest of the head is corroded to a stud unlikely it will turn, better to work it up and down for a few days and keep adding penetrating oil.

Refit the exhaust manifold ; it will give you purchase on that side . Gently remove a wee bit on the exposed parts of the studs with wet n dry . Tap the head back down and try PH CRACKIT Shock Freeze Spray on the studs Next time you prise it up , measure the gap at each of the corners and gently knock the corners till the head is level . Get a helper and use flat pry bars covered in the plastic from washing up liquid bottles etc around them so that you do not damage the head . Just lift , if possible , a 1/4 inch at a time then tap the head back down , then repeat . Actually , I have designed a new tool to supplement the existing flat bar removal tool and the prototype works extremely well . When I get the time and money I intend to get the Mk2 version made and I will provide details and measurements on my site later in the year . . . |

Just another of those 5 minute jobs  Be prepared for a lot more of those during the build.  Ah, but is it a sledgehammer covered in plastic from washing up bottles ? |

Got one more stud out, cant shift the others yet. The job goes from bad to worse. Took the sump off so far so good , went to take what I call the bridges off so I can take out the crank. Three screws came undone, so one bridge off and the other part free ,the last screw chewed up so tried drilling it out. Ended up knackering the bridge
