I did enjoy the video.
Congrats on the new motor. Are you going to be tearing it apart to inspect before putting it in?

Sad day for that 7m. Good luck with the swap, I expect to see a good thread for this.

Yes I did but well I needed a motor and this was a deal I couldn't refuse.

Plus I obviously can't seem to keep a 7m alive :-( I suck lol

I tired taking my head off today got everything removed and this thing is simply stuck won't even budge the studs are still in and so tight I can't get them out of the block I only put them in finger tight.

I'm lost to why its so hard to get it off. I've used pry bars and 3 people trying to lift at the same time and nothing

Have you removed the PS res along with all the little things on the head? The coolant port on the back of the head?

Look around the entire block and make sure you didn't forget something.

Did you use something like a spray on adhesive?

I have circled around the head multiple times and i'm stumped.

I didn't use any type of spray or adhesive.

This is the 4th time i've taken the head off and this is the only time i've had issues.
