I've never had this problem before, but I know others have. I have the heads loose on my 2.1, but the bad news is that the cylinders are coming off with the heads. I can get to the little groove around the top to pry into, and on some the "ears" cast into the cylinder, but nothing I can do will get them out of heads. Is there a trick I'm overlooking, or should I just pull them off, compress the rings and reinstall the cylinders? It's three out of the four, by the way. Jim |
