No amount of reading would allow that head to be removed leaving the cylinders on the pistons. In fact, I spent an hour removing the cylinders from the head on the bench! Perhaps you need more info--the motor is out of the bus- this should be a relatively easy question. Is a hose-clamp ring compressor the way to go? Space seems a little tight even with everything on the bench. It probably can be done, but would it be easier to remove the shroud?
