If he just needed room to get the passenger side head off, why not disconnect everything so the body could come off but only lift the front to give clearance to work on the heads so that the rear of the body is still essentially in place, so when the engine work was complete the front of the body could just be lowered into place.

They showed how to do this on Blue Peter... He should have paid better attention.

Deserves a gold badge for that. But needs to take some tips from John Noakes, like not picking your nose or polishing your head when on camera.
