I am taking my heads off to fix some bolt holes and I think I have removed everything. I planned on taking off the heads at the same time to avoid the crossover tube problem. I haven't taken the bolts off of the Passenger head or the rocker arms.

On the drivers side head I have taken the ignition coil off, IM, spark plugs, fuel rails, rockers arms, manifolds have been out, and I have double checked the 17 cylinder head bolts numerous times.

I am just trying to pry it up to see if it will come off and it isn't budging. I have tried screw drivers, wrenches in the ports, rubber hammers....Would to crossover tube in the back keep it from coming off, I think I am going to try to get the other to come upOn now and come back to the drivers side.


Any suggestions are greatly appreciated,

There a 2 bolts that are "hiding" on the left and right side. You should have 16 bolts total, if I can remember.

 

Welp, I finally got both of them off.

While the drivers side was still "stuck" I went ahead and got all the bolts off the passenger side head. I then put a flat head in between the passenger side head and the accessory bracket and it came loose real quick.

Then it was time for the drivers side head. I put a flathead screwdriver and tried to pry as much as possible in between some bracket or something right below the front of the head. After a couple whacks with the rubber hammer and mallet it started to show signs of giving. Then it was all downhill from there.

I just hope I can get all this back together next weekend.
