I’m in the process of moving, but I am removing the head cylinder on my truck, can I tow my truck to the new place or will that mess up anything????

Cover up the cylinders up top and take it out of gear or remove the drive shaft.

Yeah cover it up real good. Personally I would put some oil on the cylinder walls, etc and then seal it up as tight as you can. That way moisture can't get at it and dirt can't get in.

You must unbolt the driveshaft when flat towing, or towing by the rear wheels. You don’t want your transmission to spin.
