Cylinder head removal
I am about to remove the cylinder head on my 2.25. I have all of the bolts out and the rocker arm removed but I do not have the special tool for lifting the head especially with the manifolds still attached. My question is this: Can I safely lift the head and manifolds by putting screws with washers on them, in the front and back screw holes that hold the rocker arm on and them lift the head and manifolds with my overhead chain hoist?
It really doesn't matter if I damage that head as I have one to replace it with that has been reconditioned and re-valved but I would still like to remove it cleanly.
I'm leaving the manifolds attached as I'm sure it will be much easier to remove them outside of the engine compartment.
Thanks for any advice!
