Re: Removing Head On 288

I am not familiar with the design of the 288 but years ago I needed to remove the head on our 326 Six.
First I determined which pistons came up together, then after removing all the head nuts and spark plugs, I worked some cotton rope into the cylinders and cranked slowly.
This was enough to break the seal and allow me to remove the head.
Perhaps this hack would work for you?
