[DeTomaso] aluminum head removal update, maybe

[Ken Green]

 Dan,
    Is this difficulty in pulling the heads common when head studs are used or is there another factor?  Should some anti-seize product be applied to the studs?

   Be careful that you don't damage the threads in the block.A  You might
  want to try a Mini Ductor induction tool to heat the stud if enough of
  them are above the head surface to wrap the coils around.A  If needed,
  you could alternate heat cycles with cooling cycles using CRC Freeze
  Off or similar product.
