Jon,
I like your description of "gravitationaly inclined". After a couple whacks
with the mallet, they came off ok. Didn't have any coolant run anywhere.
Guess it all came out when I drained the block. I'm going to do a little
searching for aluminum heads before I put them back on, but don't hold out
much hope though. It would be nice, but too pricey for me I'm afraid.

oh...ohyeah, Rich, those things are gravitationaly inclined. and
ummmmm..... oh yeah, watch out for the explosion of coolant that goes all
OVER the floor when you bust them loose :)
glad you got em out, make sure someone helps you set them back on the block,
don't want to nick a surface *shudder*

-Thanks again Everyone,
-The heads are off. Man, I wish someone would have mentioned how
-heavy those
-things are. I didn't figure they would be light, but I wasn't expecting
-what I found. Lifting those suckers out with a bad back is not easy.
-Anyway, thanks again for the advise.
