Bill,

Thanks for the note.

I wish that were the case.  But, everything is disconnected and removed.

I still can't believe that I'm the only one who has seen this problem.
In a general web search, I've found info about aluminum heads sticking
to studs, but nothing Vanagon specific.  In most cases, the
recommendation is to try to unscrew the stud.  However, then I come to
notes about removing a stud from an aluminum crank case and lots of
warnings about this is best avoided and if it has to be done, it is
probably Helicoil time.

Thanks,
Mike

When this happened to me, I still had a pipe connected to the head.
