How to- Triumph Stag mk2 engine strip/disassembly part 2-cylinder head removal - what's the damage?!

The second video to strip/pull down a Triumph Stag engine easily and safely. I appreciate it is easier with garage facilities, but i do hope it helps if you are planning on doing the task yourself.
Mk1 and 2 engines are basically the same mechanically. There are some differences, but the procedures are identical.
I have split this into two parts so i can do more in real time to try and help people doing this themselves, therefore this part will be removing the cylinder heads and the remainder of the ancillaries ready for machining and rebuild
If you have any questions please ask in the comments and i will try to reply asap.

Brilliant ! Well that was the first time iv seen that bracket in use , Iv got a mk 1 to strip next and boy will it be stuck , I tried the very expensive large bracket tool that I borrowed witch pressed on top of the studs didn't budge , so this week out with the mig and get me some steel , Iv got the bottle jack , it would seem it's the only way !!

It works every time, I can't take the credit for it as i got it from my ex boss, but it's worth it's weight in gold

A Triumph? I had one once and it was a bit amusing seeing parts on the road in the rear view (when it wasn't hanging). I had a TR7...clunk..what was that? Felt like a ran over something. Yea it was the front spoiler and there it was in the rear view mirror. Also there was a gascap hole moving from car to car in various parking lots.

Yea like all cars of that era you need to keep up with maintenance

What happened to this one, this is the latest video on it I can find? Did the owner give up when they realised the extend of work needed still?

[@YorkshireClassicCarsltd]

No, it needs some welding, nut the owner is out of the country a lot, so it's ended up on the back burner, should be back on with it soon

Hey, guess what? I have a stag in my garage now. One head came off no problem, double nutted a treat. Other head is being a pain. Did get 3 out, 1 snapped and the other snapped after trying to weld a nut on. So Tomorrow's job is to make a bracket and try and use a jack to get it to move. Thanks for the video and wish me luck. I will feature the whole debacle on my channel sometime in the future. All the best, Mart. PS mic problems can be a pain can't they. I do all my filming on my phone now. Saves all the unreliable mic problems.

I've dealt with a 4 Cyl triumph years ago with this head stud array and I did not care for it at all. All the studs did come out for me.

[@YorkshireClassicCarsltd]

The four cylinder ohc engines give less head gasket problems, assume it's because there isn't the v8 style inlet manifold holding them apart so to speak. Was that a tr7 2.0?

Truly Fab detailed so many thanks

I wish the sound worked!

I love the welding burns on the shirt. My girlfriend (now wife) once arrived to find me on fire after doing some welding under my TR6. I have plenty of welding shirts and Jumpers in stock now. I will be trying this stud welding trick this morning on a mk2 Stag in Ireland. Thanks for all the informative Vidoes includng the bolt and nut sizes etc

[@YorkshireClassicCarsltd]

I used to wear overalls, but they just trap the molten metal next to your skin lol. I get burnt that often I don't even flinch anymore!

[@davidyapp2240]

Try and keep your info flashes on screen a little longer they disappear too quick to read without rewinding, otherwise very informative 👍

[@YorkshireClassicCarsltd]

Will do, sorry about that, it's all a learning curve!

UNC, UNF, 7/16 AF...all the kids left the chat.

[@neilharvey3571]

when you tighten the 2 nuts to remove the head stud, use a ring spanner on the bottom nut , then you can double spanner the ring for extra leverage .

[@YorkshireClassicCarsltd]

You can't get the ring spanner on the bottom nut on the end studs due to the head casting being tight, to be fair they don't often come out double nutted anyhow, but it's always the first method to try

[@halldorra]

Is this the ticking timebomb Triumph engine?

[@YorkshireClassicCarsltd]

I think ticking time bomb is probably a bit harsh, but you do have to keep on top of their maintenance, use correct coolant etc
