Hey all , thanks for all the input , we got the caps off, with some major heat , I think when we were messing with cam lash we went too much on the intake clearance +.015 too see how the engine changed with different cam timing, made 2 passes and must have beat the caps in, something to think about for the next time , will order new caps & locks and have at it again, THANKS!!

I would have pulled the heads off before I put torch? near my valves
and springs.......but, I've been accused of overcomplicating things. If you
used a torch, I'd be concerned about ruining the valve springs in particular.

I used map gas with a pin point tip , I put vise grips on the retainer for a heat sink but I needed a lot of heat to get it apart , I have questions about the springs too , I still am sitting on the fence for a cam change so when I finaly come up with a cam I will change out all the springs too , I have a test & tune next weekend , I was hoping to test out rear end set up but now I am not sure if I want to run , its a murfs law thing , I put a lot of heat on it?
