TallonX Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Put the spark plugs in an roll it over by hand, just make sure you have 2 helpers to catch em or just thread the head bolts back in a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruparts Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 hi, are you sure you didn't overlook a head bolt that is still holding it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyeights Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Look 3 more times for hidden or missed fasteners The head may also be glued to the studs with rusty corrosion type stuff. Try flipping the block up on it's side (studs up) and soak each stud area with LOTS of Deep Creep, or PB Blaster or something. Be careful and patient if it's a good engine.
