Re: Head removal
You know, Scott - that's not a bad idea. If we gut an old set of spark plugs and then silicon in some schrader valves (say, for a motorcycle wheel, or any other design that positively won't blow out (and kill us) under 100+ psi), ... viola! The just blip in some air from the old compressor. You're right - the total pressure applied could easily exceed the weight of the block. Once the "lock" is broken, if necessary, we can resort to the "lower the engine" technique to tippy-tap it the rest of the way off the studs. Nice. Still doesn't beat lifting the whole friggin' car off the ground though! That takes the cake. However, I do want the video of the C4 removal technique in action. Good idea on the air pressure - I have to remember that one for the next time. Ciao - Jim --Previous Message-- : 100 psi will be 540 lbs of force per : cylinder - much better than talking! : :
