Head removal

[ILikeRust]

If there is only one stud left in place, can't you rotate the entire head to "unscrew" it from the block?

That is exactly what I did when I got all but one last stud out. You do have to be very careful, though, because at least one or two of your valves will be open, sticking up - so you still need to get the head up at least bit to clear the protruding valve head before swinging it around.
