Good luck. Stuck head killed my stag engine!

What makes this so bad was that my dad parked up an immaculate stag some 20 years ago after restoring it, with a fully rebuilt engine on just 2000 miles. Now it's in a pretty poor state and the engine is seized.
Every year he says he's going to get it running again but I've had enough of that so I've decided to start for him.

I had two 10 ton bottle jacks across the vee, engine hoist on the head, wheels off the ground and jackhammer on the stud head. Like this for 10 days. Managed to get 5 thou feeler under the head. Pal in stag club did a swap out for a good recon engine. He drilled out the studs with some fancy jig he had. Lovely car but a bugger of an engine.
