Re: 1947 12hp
Going to have another attempt to try to remove the head ,after the weekend .Is it best to use a blowlamp to heat the head while hitting it,or a heat gun used for paint strpping Len

Len,
Hard to say, given that none of us have had a cylinder head so hard to remove. I would use a blow lamp so that the heat can be focussed on the join/gasket. However, make sure that all fuel pipes and wiring are out of the way so there is no chance of setting fire to the engine bay!
Good luck.
Tony.
