cylinder head removal

[gil90]

Hi, The damned exhaust studs snapped taking the exhaust off. Do i really need to take the whole the engine out to remove the cylinder head to drill out the studs or is it possible to remove the head with the engine in? haynes says theoretically yes as long as the liner doesn't come out.
whats the reality? anyone done this "in situ"

Can be done in situe but much easier with the engine on a bench obviously Put the van/engine details in ya signature for next time

Engine out = Yes, but don't take the head off = opens a right can of worms on these motors
