Ok, this old '63 beetle engine is going to meet the business end of a baseball bat very soon! I wrote awhile ago about having trouble seperating the engine from the tranny (think the clutch is fused the the flywheel or something, either way, it's not coming off) and so I thought I'd move on to another part of the engine. I removed the gasket heads and the rocker arms. Then I removed the 8 bolts holding the cylinder head on. The Haynes manual said after that I should just be able to pull it off...LIAR!:) It's still on there tight. Someone told me that maybe I had to break the seal so to take a hammer and a 2x4 and wack it a bit, which caused me to break a few cooling fins. To make a long story short (to late) am I missing something here? Is there some mystical hidden bolt that I'm just not seeing? I don't want to go back to whacking cuz it didn't work so well.
Thanks, Neil
