Pulling my head out...

Funny story, just today a new Model A owner came to me in a panic because he was sure he had blown a head gasket. When I pointed out to him that it might run better if the points were to open 20 thou instead of the 5 thou they were at. He drove away a very happy camper.
 
I saw a TV show that removed the head by putting some rope the number 1 and 4 cylinders and turning the engine over. It worked on TV.

Has anybody out there tried this? I'd be afraid of breaking something

Better check the surface of the distributor cam. Some replacement B cams were not finished properly and wear down the points rubbing block quite rapidly.
