So, a follow up:.....I had a bunch of huge work weeks pop up, preparing for CV19....
I just couldn't get tools onto the hardware in exhaust #1 cleanly and I worried that I'd strip the hardware, so, I got a proper mount and stand, and hoisted the thing up. Once there I pulled the cam partly, got the chain cover loosened and out of the way, allowing better access, and was able to put much higher force on the hardware and viola! Success with #E1. I noted that it had some rust and "use" on the threaded hardware screw and nut. So those will be replaced
I had gotten E3s hardware out but the rocker shaft was still VERY tight in it's bore. Again with more access, I was able to use a socket as a drift to knock it out. It showed some scratches so its getting replaced.
I really appreciate the offers of help and coaching!
The good news is that the pistons look fine, so damage has been limited to the valves, which are now out for servicing.
