Help pulling off a Cylinder Block cover

[regrubuen]

I need to pull off the cylinder block cover of an older motor. I can not make the screws budge, and I dont want to snap the heads. How do you reccomend removing them. I've tried using liquid wrench and WD-40.

Heat the bolts well with propane torch and an air gun on it's lowest setting and let it hammer away.You may still break some.

On the older motors it is a nut and a bolt.-------No problem if the break at all.------To overhaul the motor you need to take the powerhead off anyway and then you can drill the nuts to get rid of them.

but do i need to pull of the entire powerhead inorder to access the cylinders?

If you want to take the powerhead apart you need to pull it off the exhaust housing.------The water cover is not a cylinder head and removing it does not allow you to inspect the cylinders !!

What I am trying to pull off is not the water cover, it is the panel that the Spark Plugs screw into

Sorry , but the sparkplugs screw into a dome that is part of the block.------The cover forms a water jacket for cooling.------The sparkplugs do NOT screw into a panel.------I suggest you close up your tool box , get a manual and do some study.------Expensive mistakes are easy to make !
