    I built a tool that picks the cylinders up off the base without tearing the fins up. It only breaks loose and raises one side up right now.. needs some more work.. but even just one side up, you have something to work with and can get the rest of it up.

      Thanks, Tod! I remember someone mentioning a tool to remove the cylinder jugs but, fortunately, the jugs lifted off my engine case fairly easily. The gasket had to be ripped in half because it was stuck fast to the jugs and the case and removing the it was lots of fun.

      Now that I've used Permatex to seal the new base gasket it will undoubtedly require the tool to pull the jugs and it will be even more fun to remove the old gasket and the Permatex.
