2.0l

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

Soak the stud in PB blaster or Kroil then apply heat. LOTS to just the stud. 
The head causes the bolt to expand faster than the head  (alum) then really 
clamp down with a good set of vice grips. That should do the job.

If you use a hoist remember to fit the DS first, the 5th gear housing will 
be a pain other wise (experienced that my self  :)

Removing the head will cost about $100.00 just in bolts and gaskets. Leave 
it on!
