Bonzo,

as you suggested a little heat from a blow torch and some coercion from a drift and it was free. Engine and head now stripped, except for all the bottom end which I'm leaving.

From the cam-shaft wear it looks like it's done a lot more miles than the 80,000 that was on the clock.

However, I will just give it all a good clean-up and put it back together. I'm not expecting much from it. Just to get me through the IVA and a few thousand miles before an engine swop.

Thanks for your suggestions,
