When I saw this thread it got me motivated to finish taking the heads off my older jeep. It has a problem that it is too hard to start.
So I have 2 sore wrists with a few bruses from undoing the bottom #3 exhaust manifold nut. Only took 1 1/2 hrs for that nut. The dam thing wouldnt undo & I ended up needing to unscrew the stud with the nut on it. To my surprise all heads still have hard surface. The pistons are snug in the bores but there is too much oil finding its way up. Started taking sump off as it looks like ring problems.
