Here's a interesting looking puller device this guy uses to pull the head and top end off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5rz-FhT984" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLEhNZ9SQVM" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

You would have thought after using that tool to clear rust from around the studs it would have come off a lot easier. It just goes to show what Dave and I noticed years ago when using the puller plates I made up. The real holding corrosion is at the last inch or so around the studs at the base of the cylinder.
Considering the internet has a lot of information easy to hand, some people still dream up creative ways to reinvent something thats not needed.
That whole process shown is just one shy of "backyard botchery"
I wonder if he read your reply Dave, and then went looking for the correct way to remove cylinders.

Any significance to you posting this 'horror clip' on Halloween Dave? Parts of that were definitely hard to watch. The split head was cool though.

Although a bit brutal looking i bet the head bolt he had to grind off had been rounded off as it also looks like it was rusted in place . The way the end head bolts are you really cannot get a pipe wrench on it , he was really lucky it was a 2 piece head as once he got the top cover piece off the rest of the head is nice n flat so he could then get to the head bolt with the pipe wrench . He also used the tool that has been shown to help cut away the buildup between the studs and the block , but as Allan posted even using the tool doesnt mean the head will come up easy , although i suggested to the Youtube poster the puller plate works well , he did manage to pull the cylinder loose using much the same method of working the cylinder up a bit and then driving it back down several times to loosen the rust binding the block to the studs .
