Re: 1928 Head gasket nut torque

Your head is not stuck on the gasket. It is stuck on the studs. The hardwood wedges mentioned will help to force it up. Another helpful trick is to place a head nut loosely on each stud to protect the threads and tap the studs sideways with a hammer to break up debris and rust around the stud. Lots of penetrating oil is your friend.
