It looks like 2 bolts to take the valve cover off. Are the valve push rods ok to sit in the block? I think the head is toast. It has cracked about a 3" radius around the bolt and pulled out about 1/4" away from the head casting where the water tube bolts up. I would have put it up on a trailer & taken it to a guru here in Central MN but the rear wheels are spaced 84" & my bobcat trlr is 81" between wheel wells. Wheels have not been adjusted in at least 20+ years & are loaded. So, probably less agravation to pull the head myself. Radiator looks OK but cannot tell for sure because water runs out through the cracked head. After I pull the head off I should be able to look into the block water jacket. --- I bought some JD A huge spark plugs but the ones in there now seem to be normal sized. It looks like the plugs screw into the block, not head.
