Hello,

I did some archive searching and came up with lots of hits on cylinders
sticking to the head, but that is not my problem (yet).

I backed off the head nuts.  However, the head wouldn't budge.  So, I
cut away all of the outer water gasket and can slip a knife between the
head and the water jacket all the way around, but the head is still
stuck fast.  I then noticed that all of the studs can be moved about a
bit in the head, except for one, which seems to be one with the head.  I
suspect that it is corroded in place and is the cause of the stuck head.

I can't be the first one to have this problem.  Any advice what to do
next?

Thanks,
