getting heads off
I am just rebuilding a little 1600tp for a bash car. i have never really done much work like this before. i have taken the heads of other vw engines.
but these seem to be stuck on really well. are there any tricks to getting them off. and yes all 8 head studs are undone.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!

With the rocker gear off, so both valves are closed. A good blast of air through the spark plug hole - an adapter would help here.
Or hook up a starter motor.
Note, this does not work if there is a hole in the piston!

got them off. we though it may have been rings which was giving the low compression. but one of the valves, is 3 sided, and also cupped........ think
its time for some new exhaust valves.
