Had same problem with my Super A. The main culprit appeared to be the crud around the (long) studs, which indeed remain in the engine block. So soaking the studs with penetrating oil real good helps. I loosely screwed a bolt into every threaded hole in the head. Then placed a 2 by 6 over and across the engine. Then took some twine and looped this from one bolt, OVER the 2 by 6, to the next bolt. Then OVER the 2 by 6 again to bolt number three. Using all bolts and other "protruding things" like the rock shaft, coolant inlet, etc. I weaved a whole cob web. The 2 by 6 was supported on one end and I lifted the other end with a jack, putting the cob web under tension. While hitting the head with a wooden mallet, the head finally came loose, undamaged! Clear as mud? Too bad I didn't take a picture :-(
HTH, Hendrik
