The Engine Won't Give Up The Ghost

The rebuild of the XS360 was halted about a month ago, which would explain why there haven't been any posts about it. Why? Because I couldn't get the cylinder head off and wasn't sure what to do about it. So I set the project aside temporarily.
Wildman came over to check on his bike today. The one that Bryanna is convinced is hers.
After blowing some carbon out of its pipes he decided to hammer on the XS360 engine. Needless to say all he accomplished was the same thing the previous owner and myself did: caused some additional damage.
There is nothing holding it on but an ancient gasket that has obviously petrified into concrete.
It just won't give up the ghost...
