Wellllll - you CAN get heads off one of these things in situ, but it's a bear. I did it once - never again. I figured that since I was in the middle of no-where with not much in the way of tools, and a valve being hit by a piston on every stroke, that I'd be better off just taking off the head. Wrong. In retrospect, it would have been easier to drop the engine.
